Question

As an electrolyte solution is diluted, the **conductivity (κ)** and **molar conductivity (Λ_m)** respectively:

Accepted Answer

D. κ decreases, Λ_m increases

**On dilution:** fewer ions per unit volume → **κ decreases**.
But the volume per mole increases more than κ falls
→ **Λ_m increases**.
This is true for both strong and weak electrolytes.

Answer

Both decrease

Answer

Both increase

Answer

κ increases, Λ_m decreases

As an electrolyte solution is diluted, the conductivity (κ) and molar conductivity (Λ_m) respectively:
