In an aqueous solution, how does the specific conductivity of an electrolyte change with dilution?
Answer: It decreases on dilution — the number of ions per unit volume falls.
Solution
Specific conductivity (conductivity, ) is the conductance of ions in a unit volume of solution.
On dilution the number of ions per cm decreases, so the conductivity decreases.
On dilution the number of ions per cm decreases, so the conductivity decreases.
