### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Conductivity**: - Conductivity (κ) is a measure of a solution's ability to conduct electricity, which depends on the concentration of ions in the solution. 2. **Effect of Dilution on Electrolytes**: - When an electrolyte is diluted, the concentration of the ions (cations and anions) in the solution decreases. For example, if we dilute a solution of NaCl, the number of Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions per unit volume decreases. ...
