Question
An increase in equivalent conductance of a strong electrolyte with dilution is mainly due to
Options
A.Increasing in ionic mobility of ions
B.100% ionisation of electrolyte at normal dilution
C.increase in both , ie, number of ions and ionic mobility of ions
D.increase in number of ions
Solution
λeq = k × V = 
On dilution, the number of current carrying particles per cm decreases but the volume of solution increases. Consequently, the ionic solution increases, which on turns increases the equivalent conductance of strong electrolyte.
