      Why on dilution the of increases drastically, while that of increases gradually?                                                   [2]

    Answer:

      is a strong electrolyte. At high concentration, there are greater number of ions per unit volume which increases attraction between and ions. If solution is diluted, then it decrease  in  ionic attractions,  hence molar conductivity increases with dilution, on regular basis. On the other hand,  is a weak acid. By Ostwald's dilution law, degree of ionization (x) is related to dilution by [1] In higher concentration range, ionisation is very small, thus molar conductance, also remains constant. In lower concentration range (very dilute solution)  ionisation  is  rapid,  hence  molar conductance increases rapidly with dilution. [1]  (infinite dilution)
