Question:

The conductivity of an electrolytic solution does not depend on

Options:

Osmotic pressure

Concentration of the electrolyte

The nature of electrolyte

Temperature

Correct Answer:

Osmotic pressure

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Osmotic pressure

Conductivity of an electrolytic solution depends on:

  • Concentration of electrolyte → more ions, higher conductivity
  • Nature of electrolyte → strong/weak electrolyte affects ionization
  • Temperature → higher temperature increases ion mobility

Osmotic pressure is unrelated to conductivity; it depends on the number of solute particles, not their charge mobility.
