How does dilution affect the conductivity of strong electrolytes and weak electrolytes ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In case of strong electrolytes, when the concentration of the solution is high, the number of solvent molecules is few and the oppositely charged ions are closed to each other. This results in strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the ions and lesser mobility of the ions. This accounts for increase in conductivity with dilution. In case of weak electrolytes, degree of dissociation increases with dilution
