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.
