Question

On which factor conductance of an electrolytic solution depends

Answer 1

Conductance of an electrolytic solution depends on the concentration of the solution(the no. of free ions present) and the temperature of the solution (resistance against conductivity).

Answer 2

The conductance of an electrolytic solution depends on temperature, the concentration of the electrolyte, nature of the electrolyte added, viscosity and nature of the solvent, and solvation and size of the ions produced.

• The conductivity of the electrolytic solution is due to the movement of ions or due to the mobile ions present in the solution.
• This is also known as ionic conductance.
• An increase in temperature leads to an increase in the conductivity of an electrolyte due to the rapid movement of ions in it.
• Greater the number of ions, the greater the conductivity.
