Question:

Read the passage carefully and answer.

The molar conductivity of a solution at any given concentration is the conductance of the volume of solution containing one mole of electrolyte kept between two platinum electrodes with unit area of cross-section and at a distance of unit length. Both conductivity and molar conductivity change with the concentration of the electrolyte. Kohlrausch examined $Ʌ°_m$ values for a number of strong electrolytes and observed certain regularities. He noted that the difference in $Ʌ°_m$ of the electrolytes NaX and KX for any X is nearly constant. On the basis of the above observations, he enunciated the Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions.

The decrease in molar conductivity of a weak electrolyte on increasing the concentration for a fixed volume is due to

Options:

Increase in degree of dissociation on dilution

Decrease in degree of dissociation on dilution

Decrease in dissociation constant on increasing the concentration

Increase in dissociation constant on increasing the concentration

Correct Answer:

Increase in degree of dissociation on dilution

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Increase in degree of dissociation on dilution
