Question

48. When a concentrated solution of a strong electrolyte is progressively diluted, its specific conductance ($\kappa$) decreases. What is the fundamental physical reason for this?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. Specific conductance () is the conductance of exactly of solution. As dilution occurs, the total number of ions spreads over a much larger volume, strictly decreasing the number of ions per , and therefore dropping .
