Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: For KI, molar conductivity increases steeply with dilution.

Statement II: For carbonic acid, molar conductivity increases slowly with dilution.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 Distinguish between the dilution behavior of strong and weak electrolytes. Identify the electrolyte type for  and Carbonic acid.

Analysis:
- KI: This is a strong electrolyte. According to the Debye-Hückel-Onsager equation, its molar conductivity increases slowly and linearly with the square root of concentration upon dilution. Statement I is false because it claims a "steep" increase.
- Carbonic acid (): This is a weak electrolyte. At moderate concentrations, the increase is slow, bu
