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