How does molar conductivity change with a decrease in concentration?

Options

  1. AIt increases for both strong and weak electrolytes.
  2. BIt decreases for both strong and weak electrolytes.
  3. CIt increases for strong electrolytes and decreases for weak electrolytes.
  4. DIt decreases for strong electrolytes and increases for weak electrolytes.

Correct answer

C. It increases for strong electrolytes and decreases for weak electrolytes.

Step-by-step solution

Molar conductivity increases with decrease in concentration. This is because the total volume, V, of solution containing one mole of electrolyte also increases.
