Question
Assertion: Conductivity of all electrolytes decreases on dilution.
Reason: On dilution number of ions per unit volume decreases.
Options
Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion is true but the reason is false.
Both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion is false but reason is true.
Solution
Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Explanation:
Conductivity always decreases with decrease in concentration both, for weak and strong electrolytes. This can be explained by the fact that the number of ions per unit volume that carry the current in a solution decreases on dilution.
