Question

The factor(s) which affect conductivity of a solution is/are:

• A. Charge and size of ions
• B. Concentration of ions
• C. Ease with which the ions move under a potential gradient
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

Conductivity of Ionic Solutions
The conductivity of solutions of different electrolytes in the same solvent and at a given temperature depends upon various factors:

1. Nature (charge and size) of ions
2. Concentration of ions
3. Ease with which the ions move under a potential gradient/electric field.
