Molar conductance of an electrolyte solution increases on dilution because:

Answer: Ionic association decreases, giving more free ions.

  • A Ions move faster due to less friction during normal conditions
  • B More ions are present per unit volume as generally observed
  • C Ionic association decreases, giving more free ions
  • D Solvent viscosity increases in typical laboratory settings

Correct answer: C. Ionic association decreases, giving more free ions

Explanation: On dilution, ion-ion interactions decrease and ionic mobility increases, raising molar conductance.
