Match the quantity with how it behaves on dilution.

1. Specific conductance   2. Equivalent conductance   3. Degree of dissociation

P. Increases   Q. Decreases   R. Increases toward unity

  • A.1-Q, 2-R, 3-P
  • B.1-P, 2-R, 3-Q
  • C.1-Q, 2-P, 3-R
  • D.1-P, 2-Q, 3-R

Answer: C

Correct answer: 1-Q, 2-P, 3-R

The three behave differently on dilution because they are normalised differently. Specific conductance, being per unit volume, falls as the ions are spread through more solvent. Equivalent conductance, referring to a fixed quantity of solute, rises as dissociation increases and interionic attraction weakens. And the degree of dissociation itself rises towards unity, complete dissociation being the limit at infinite dilution.
