Electrochemistry · Question 48

An increase in equivalent conductance of a strong electrolyte with dilution is mainly due to

1. increase in ionic mobility of ions
2. 100% ionisation of electrolyte at normal dilution
3. increase in both i.e., number of ions and ionic mobility of ions
4. increase in number of ions.

Kohlrausch's law states that at

1. Infinite dilution, each ion makes definite contribution to conductance of an electrolyte whatever be the nature of the other ion of the electrolyte
2. Infinite dilution, each ion makes definite contribution to equivalent conductance of an electrolyte, whatever be the nature of the other ion of the electrolyte
3. Finite dilution, each ion makes definite contribution to equivalent conductance of an electrolyte, whatever be the nature of the other ion of the electrolyte
4. Infinite dilution, each ion makes definite contribution to equivalent conductance of an electrolyte depending on the nature of the other ion of the electrolyte.
