Question

What is the effect of dilution on the equivalent conductance of strong electrolyte?

• A. Decrease on dilution
• B. Remains unchanged
• C. Increase on dilution
• D. None of die above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Increase on dilution

Answer 2

The equivalent conductance of strong electrolyte is increased by dilution, because its value is equal to the multiple of ${{K}_{v}}$ and the volume of solution. By making dilution the volume of solution increases which also increase the value of equivalent conductivity.
