Question

Why does conductivity of a solution decreases with dilution?

Answer 1

Answer:

Conductivity changes with the concentration of the electrolyte. The number of ions per unit volume carrying the current decreases on dilution, so conductivity always decreases with decrease in concentration. However, molar conductivity increases with dilution.

Hope this answer will help a lot.

Answer 2

EXPLANATION:

Conductivity decreases of a solution with dilution because the concentration of ions per volume is decreasing. So, it will work as the conductor having less no. of free electrons. That's why solution's conductivity will decrease.
