Assertion : Molar conductance of an electrolyte increases upon dilution.
Reason : Ions move faster in dilute solution.

A

If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

C

If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.

D

If assertion and reason both are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) Correct explanation. Molar conductance increases because with dilution in a weak electrolyte, dissociation increases while in a strong electrolyte, inter-ionic attractions decrease.
