Question

How can the conductivity of a salt solution be decreased?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Add more water to decrease the concentration.

Explanation:

If we add more water to the solution, the concentration is decreased and like wise the conductivity of the solution.

• Concentration is the amount of solute in a solution.
• Conductivity deals with the ability of a solution to allow the passage of current.

Concentration and conductivity are directly proportional to one another. The higher the concentration, the higher the conductivity and vice versa.

• Adding more water increases the amount of solvent and the concentration reduces.
