Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The conductivity of a solution is the conductance of ions present in a unit volume of the solution. The number of ions (responsible for carrying current) per unit volume decreases when the solution is diluted. As a result, the conductivity of a solution decreases with dilution.
