Question
For a weak electrolyte, molar conductance in dilute solution increases sharply as its concentration in solution is decreased. Give reason.
✓

Answer

Because with dilution, there is increase in degree of dissociation and consequently the number of ions in total volume of solution increases and hence molar conductivity increases sharply.
