An increase in equivalent conductance of a strong electrolyte with dilution is mainly due to
- increase in ionic mobility of ions
- 100% ionisation of electrolyte at normal dilution
- increase in both i.e., number of ions and ionic mobility of ions
- increase in number of ions.
Answer
(1) increase in ionic mobility of ions
Solution
A strong electrolyte is almost completely ionised even at moderate concentration, so the number of ions hardly changes on dilution.
As per NCERT, on dilution the interionic attractions decrease the ions move more freely, i.e. ionic mobility increases.
Equivalent (molar) conductance of a strong electrolyte increases with dilution mainly due to the increase in ionic mobility.
