  • A depend upon type of electrolyte
  • B increase sharply
  • C decrease sharply
  • D remain same or can not be measured accurately

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

The molar conductivity, denoted as ∧m, is calculated using the formula:

∧m=K×1000M

When the volume of the solution is doubled by adding more water at a constant temperature, the conductivity, K, will be reduced to half, while the molarity, M, will also be halved.

Therefore, the molar conductivity λm will either remain the same or cannot be measured with sharp accuracy.

For an infinitely dilute solution, the molar conductivity ∧m is approximately equal to the molar conductivity at infinite dilution ∧m0, which is a constant.
