Question

Consider the statements S₁ and S₂ 

S₁ : Conductivity always increases with decrease in the concentration of electrolyte. 

S₂ : Molar conductivity always increases with decrease in the concentration of electrolyte. The correct option among the following is : 

(1) Both S₁ and S₂ are wrong 

(2) S₁ is correct and S₂ is wrong 

(3) Both S₁ and S₂ are correct 

(4) S₁ is wrong and S₂ is correct 

Answer 1

Correct option (4) S₁ is wrong and S₂ is correct

Explanation:

We know that 

Here λm = molar conductivity 

k = conductivity

c = concentration 

We the increase in the concentration conductivity always increase the molar conduction always increases with the decrease in the concentration.
