Conductivity of a strong electrolyte

A

Increases on addition

B

Does not change considerably on dilution

C

Decreases on dilution

D

Depends on density

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Strong electrolyte ionize completely at all dilutions and the number of ions does not increase on dilution. A small increase in A value with dilution is due to the weakening of electrostatic attraction between the ions on dilution.
