On Diluting the Solution of an Electrolyte?

On dilution the number of ions per unit volume decreases. Hence, the conductivity decreases.

What happens on diluting the solution of an electrolyte?

On diluting the solution of an electrolyte ∧ increases and k decreases.

When an electrolyte is diluted?

Conductivity changes with the concentration of the electrolyte. On dilution as volume of solution increases. Thus, the number of ions per ml decreases and hence conductivity decreases. Molar conductivity is defined for 1 mole of ions.
