    An increase in equivalent conductance of a strong electrolyte with dilution is mainly due  to [AIPMT (S) 2010]

    A) increase in ionic mobility of ions

    B) 100% ionisation of electrolyte at normal dilution

    C) increase in both, i.e., number of ions and ionic mobility of ions

    D) increase in number of ions

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Key Idea \[{{\lambda }_{eq}}=\kappa \times V=\frac{k\times 1000}{normality}.\]
    On dilution, the number of current carrying particles per cm3 decreases but the volume of solution increases. Consequently, the ionic mobility increases, which in rum increases the equivalent conductance of strong electrolyte.
