On diluting a solution of a weak electrolyte, which of the following is correct?

  1. ABoth and increase
  2. B decreases and increases
  3. C increases and decreases
  4. DBoth and decrease

Answer: B

Dilution reduces the number of ions per unit volume, so conductivity falls. Molar conductivity refers to one mole of electrolyte; dilution raises the degree of dissociation , so rises (sharply for weak electrolytes).
