How the effect of dilution on specific conductances can be explained?
Specific conductance:
Where,G = conductance
κ =conductivity
A = area of cross-section
l = distance between the platinum electrodes
The specific conductivity or conductivity (k) of electrolytes decreases with the addition of water or upon dilution because the number of ions per unit volume decrease.
Effect of Dilution on specific conductance:
Hence, In this way, the decreasing tendency of specific conductance with the increase in dilution of the solution can be explained.
