Chemistry Question on Solutions
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 the above
Answer
Increase on dilution
Explanation
Solution
The equivalent conductance of strong electrolyte is increased by dilution, because its value is equal to the multiple of Kυ and the volume of solution. By making dilution the volume of solution increases which also increase the value of equivalent conductivity.
