The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Molar Conductivity**: - Molar conductivity (Λ) is defined as the conductivity (κ) of a solution divided by its molarity (C). It indicates how well a solution can conduct electricity. - For weak electrolytes, the molar conductivity increases with dilution. **Hint**: Remember that molar conductivity is related to the number of ions present in the solution. 2. **Effect of Dilution on Weak Electrolytes**: - Weak electrolytes do not completely dissociate in solution. When a weak electrolyte is diluted, the concentration of the undissociated molecules decreases. - According to Le Chatelier's principle, reducing the concentration of reactants (undissociated molecules) shifts the equilibrium to the right, leading to more dissociation into ions. **Hint**: Consider how equilibrium shifts when the concentration of reactants changes. 3. **Degree of Ionization**: - The degree of ionization (α) is the fraction of the total number of solute molecules that dissociate into ions. - As the solution is diluted, the degree of ionization increases because more of the weak electrolyte dissociates into ions. **Hint**: Think about how dilution affects the dissociation of weak electrolytes. 4. **Conclusion on Assertion and Reason**: - Since the degree of ionization increases with dilution, the number of ions in the solution increases, leading to an increase in molar conductivity. - Therefore, both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. **Hint**: Verify if the reason logically supports the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
