QuestionElectrochemistry / strong and weak electrolytes
Consider the following statements regarding two electrolytes ‘X’ and ‘Y’ whose molar conductivities increase by a factor of 20 and 1·5 respectively, on dilution : Statement – 1 : ‘X’ is a strong electrolyte and ‘Y’ is a weak electrolyte Statement – 2 : For weak electrolytes the increase in molar conductivity is due to the increase in degree of dissociation of the electrolyte on dilution
Which one of the following is correct in respect of above statements ?
- (a) Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1
- (b) Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true and statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1
