Specific conductance increases while equivalent conductance decreases on increasing dilution.

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Specific conductance (conductivity,$\kappa$) is defined as the conductance of $1 \, cm^3$ of an electrolyte solution,so option $A$ is correct.On increasing dilution,the number of ions per unit volume decreases,which leads to a decrease in specific conductance $(\kappa)$. However,equivalent conductance $(\wedge_{eq})$ increases because the total volume containing one equivalent of electrolyte increases,so option $B$ is incorrect.For weak electrolytes,the degree of dissociation increases with dilution,and $\wedge_{eq}$ increases rapidly. The curve between $\wedge_{eq}$ and $\sqrt{C}$ does not become linear at low concentrations,so the limiting molar conductivity cannot be determined by extrapolation,making option $C$ correct.Metals conduct electricity due to the movement of free electrons,making option $D$ correct.Therefore,the incorrect statement is $B$.

Electrolyte	$\Lambda_m^\circ$ $(S\text{ cm}^2\text{ mol}^{-1})$
$BaCl_2$	$x_1$
$H_2SO_4$	$x_2$
$HCl$	$x_3$
