Question
Arrange the following solutions in the decreasing order of specific conductance.
i) 0.01 M KCl
ii) 0.005 M KCl
iii) 0.1 M KCl
iv) 0.25 M KCl
v) 0.5 M KCl
Solution
0.005 M KCl > 0.01 M KCI > 0.1 M KCI > 0.25 M KCl > 0.5 M KCI.
Specific conductance and concentration of the electrolyte. So if concentration decreases, specific conductance increases.
