Question

Mention any two factors which affects in conductivity of electrolytic solution

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student

Electrolytic solutions have free ions in them that move freely in the solution and hence cause conductivity.
So, two factors on which this conductivity will depend on are:
1) The concentration of ions: As movement of ions is the reason of conductivity in electrolytes, the higher the concentration of ions, more will be its movement and hence more will be its concentration.

2) Temperature: As we all know that the solubility of an electrolyte increases as we increase the temperature, so a higher temperature corresponds to higher solubility of electrolyte or the higher no of ions free to move about to cause higher conductivity.
