1.	An increase in equivalent conductance of a strong electrolyte with dilution is mainly due to:A. increase in number of ionsB. increase in the ionic mobility of ionsC. 100% ionisation of the electrolyte at normal dilutionD. increase in both i.e. number of ions and ionic mobility of ions.
Answer» Correct Answer - B Strong electrolyte is completely ionized at all concentrations . Therefore, the number of ions remains the same on dilution. However on dilution. The interionic forces decrease. Consequently the ionic mobility increases. Hence the equivalent conductance increases.
