Identify the factor from the following that does not affect electrolytic conductan of a solution.
Electrochemistry · Class 12 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
Identify the factor from the following that does not affect electrolytic conductan\ce of a solution.
- a
The nature of the electrolyte added.
- b✓
The nature of the electrode used.
- c
Concentration of the electrolyte.
- d
The nature of solvent used.
The nature of the electrode used.
Strategy: Conductan\ce in an electrolyte solution depends on the concentration and mobility of ions. Identify which factor is an external hardware component rather than a property of the electrolytic medium.
Factors affecting Electrolytic Conductan\ce:
- Nature of Electrolyte: Strong vs weak electrolytes provide different numbers of ions.
- Concentration: More ions per unit volume increase charge transport.
- Solvent: Viscosity and dielectric constant of the solvent affect ion speed.
Factor that does NOT affect: The nature of the electrode (e.g., using Pt vs. Gold vs. Gra\phite) does not change the conductivity of the solution itself; it only facilitates the connection to the external \circuit.
