STANDARD Chemistry Conductivity MCQ Question
When water is added to an aqueous solution of an electrolyte, what is the change in specific conductivity of the electrolyte?
Conductivity decreases
Conductivity increases
Conductivity remains same
Conductivity does not depend on number of ions.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Conductivity decreases because the addition of water dilutes the solution, reducing the number of ions per unit volume.
