Account for the following : For a strong electrolyte molar conductivity decreases as concentration increases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) For a strong electrolyte, at high concentration, the number of constituent ions of the electrolyte in a given volume is high and hence the attractive force between the oppositely charged ions is also high.
(ii) Moreover the ions also experience a viscous drag due to greater solvation.
(iii) These factors attribute for the low molar conductivity at high concentration.
