Questions
Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease on dilution of the solution?
Why does the specific conductivity (κ) of a solution decrease on dilution?

Solution
The specific conductivity (κ) of an electrolytic solution decreases during dilution because the number of ions present per unit volume of the solution decreases.
