प्रश्न
Why conductivity of an electrolyte solution decreases with the decrease in concentration ?
उत्तर
The conductivity of an electrolyte solution is the conductance of ions present in a unit volume of the solution. The number of ions (responsible for carrying current) decreases when the solution is diluted or the concentration is decreased. As a result, the conductivity of an electrolyte solution decreases with the decrease in concentration.
