48. When a concentrated solution of a strong electrolyte is progressively diluted, its specific cond — Electrochemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Specific conductance ($\kappa$) is the conductance of exactly $1 \text{ cm}^3$ of solution. As dilution occurs, the total number of ions spreads over a much larger volume, strictly decreasing the number of ions per $1 \text{ cm}^3$, and therefore dropping $\kappa$.
