Conductivity of an electrolytic solution depends on . . . .

Options

A. nature of electrolyte.
B. concentration of electrolyte
C. power of AC source.
D. distance between the electrodes.

Answer

A, B

Explanation

* Conductivity or specific conductance `kappa` (kappa): It is the conductance of solution kept between two electrodes with 1 `m^(2)` area of cross section and distance of 1 m. it is the reciprocal of resistivity `(p)`.
`k=(1)/(p)`.
* SI unit of `k=S" "m^(-1)`. it depends on the nature of the electrolyte and concentration of the electrolyte.
* Conductivity does not depend on power of AC source and distance between two ions.
* The conductivity of the electrolytic solution depend on (i) nature of added electrolyte (ii) volume of produced ions and their solvation capacity (iii) nature of solvent and its viscosity and (iv) temperature.
* So, conductivity depend on (A) nature of electrolyte and (B) concentration of electrolyte.
