Ans: Hence when a solution is diluted, conductivity decreases and molar conductivity increases.
On dilution, the ionic mobility and number of ions present in solution increases but the number of ions per mL
decreases. Molar conductivity is defined for 1 mole of ions. Thus on dilution ions more apart and mobility of ions
increase which leads to increase in molar conductivity of the solution.
