Question

When a concentrated solution of an electrolyte is diluted

A. its specific conductance increases.
B. its equivalent conductivity decreases.
C. its specific conductivity decreases and equivalent conductivity increases.  
D. both specific and equivalent conductivity increase.
Answer :   its specific conductivity decreases and equivalent conductivity increases.
Solution :
On dilution number of ions decrease in unit volume hence specific conductance decreases. But separation between ions also increase hence equivalent conductance increases.
