On dilution, the **conductivity** ($\kappa$) of an electrolyte solution:
- Increases
- First decreases then increases
- Remains constant
- Decreases
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. Decreases
Conductivity = conductance of 1 cm³ — depends on **ions per unit volume**.
On dilution, although more electrolyte dissociates, ions per unit volume drop (volume grows faster), so $\kappa$ decreases.
