Factors affecting Electrolytic Conductance

1.The Concentration of Ions in the Solution

The concentration of ions is the main factor that affects electrolytic conductance. The conductance of the solution varies with the ion concentration. The conductivity of electrolytes will increase with the increase in the concentration of ions as there will be more charge carriers and the conductivity of electrolytes will be high, but if the concentration of ions is less then the conductivity of electrolyte will be less.

2.Type of Electrolyte

There are weak electrolytes and strong electrolytes, strong electrolytes get ionized completely in the solution whereas weak electrolytes do not. An example of a strong electrolyte is  ${KNO}_{3}$ and an example for a weak electrolyte is ${CH}_{3}COOH$.

3.Temperature

Temperature is also one of the main factors as the ions should dissolve in the solution at a given temperature. So, at higher temperatures, the solubility is more. t

4. Size of the Ion

The conductance of electrolytes depends on the size of the ion, the greater the size of the ion the lesser is the conductance. There you can say that Size of the ion is inversely proportional to the conductance of the ion.

5.Type of Solvent

The type of solvent is the fifth factor that affects electrolytic conductivity. The higher the polarity of the solvent type, the higher the conductivity.

Hence, the answer is option B.
