Question

Conductivity of a solution increases with dilution. (True/False)

Hint:

In area-ratio problems, if the radii and central angles are identical, the areas will always be equal regardless of the orientation of the figure.

Answer 1

Concept:
There are two types of conductivity in electrolytic solutions:
Specific conductivity (\( \kappa \))
Molar conductivity (\( \Lambda_m \))
Explanation:

On dilution, the number of ions per unit volume decreases.
Therefore,
specific conductivity decreases
.
However,
molar conductivity increases
due to increased ion mobility and dissociation. Since the statement says conductivity (generally referring to specific conductivity), it is incorrect. \[ \boxed{\text{False}} \]
