Question

Why molar conductivity increases on dilution of solution?

Open in App

Solution

Conductivity decreases with decrease in concentration as the number of ions per unit volume that carry the current in a solution decrease on dilution. ... Molar conductivity increases with decrease in concentration as the total volume, V, of solution containing one mole of electrolyte also increases.
