Variation of ConductivityElectrochemistry

Why does Conductivity (κ\kappa) decrease upon dilution?.

Expert Answer

Conductivity or specific conductance is the conductance of unit volume of solution. when we dilute the solution, the same number of ions (strong electrolyte) get distributed over a larger volume and the number of ions per unit volume decrease.
