Question:

The factor(s) governing the flow of electricity through an electrolytic solution is/are

(A). The nature of inter ionic attraction.
(B). Temperature
(C). Solvation of ions.
(D). The nature of solvent and its viscosity.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(D) only

(A) and (C) only

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

(B), (C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (B), (C) and (D)

Electrical conductivity of an electrolytic solution depends on all factors that influence ion mobility.

Let’s check each:

  • (A) Nature of interionic attraction → Yes, stronger attraction lowers mobility.
  • (B) Temperature → Yes, higher temperature increases mobility and conductivity.
  • (C) Solvation of ions → Yes, more solvation reduces mobility, lowering conductivity.
  • (D) Nature and viscosity of solvent → Yes, more viscous solvents decrease ion mobility.
