Consider the statements S1 and S2 :
S1 : Conductivity always increases with decreases in the concentration of electrolyte.
S2 : Molar conductivity always increases with decreases in the concentration of electrolyte.
The correct option among the following
  1. S1 is wrong and S2 is correct
  2. S1 is correct and S2 is wrong
  3. Both S1 and S2 are correct
  4. Both S1 and S2 are wrong

Solution

Conductivity changes with the concentration of electrolyte. The number of ions per unit volume carrying the current decreases on dilution, so conductivity (K) always decreases with decrease in concentration.
Molar. Conductivity increases with dilution.
∧mmolar conductivity=1000×KC
