| $\displaystyle 0.010$ | $\displaystyle 0.00141$ | $\displaystyle 141 \cdot 0$ |
Marking-scheme solution
Conductivity decreases with decrease in concentration
Due to decrease in number of current carrying ions per unit volume.
Molar conductivity increases with decrease in concentration
Due to decrease in inter-ionic attraction or increase in dissociation or increase in number of
ions.
