Question:

On which factor(s), the conductivity of electrolytic (ionic) solutions depends?

Options:

The nature of the electrolyte added

Size of the ions produced and their solvation

The nature of the solvent and its viscosity

All of these

Correct Answer:

All of these

Explanation:

The conductance of electricity by ions present in the solutions is called electrolytic or ionic conductance. The conductivity of electrolytic (ionic) solutions depends on:

(i) the nature of the electrolyte added

(ii) size of the ions produced and their solvation

(iii) the nature of the solvent and its viscosity

(iv) concentration of the electrolyte

(v) temperature (it increases with the increase of temperature).
