What happens when solution of an electrolyte is diluted?

  1. A Both \(\wedge\) and \(\mathrm{k}\) increases
  2. B Both \(\wedge\) and \(\mathrm{k}\) decreases
  3. C \(\wedge\) increases and \(\mathrm{k}\) decreases
  4. D \(\wedge\) decreases and \(\mathrm{k}\) increases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\wedge\) increases and \(\mathrm{k}\) decreases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The molar conductivity \((\wedge)\) of an electrolyte increases on dilution while conductivity (k) decreases on dilution.
