FACTORS AFFECTING THE CONDUCTIVITY OF ELECTROLYTIC SOLUTION

 1)   INTERIONIC INTERACTION: – Greater the inter-ionic interactions lesser will be the conductivity of the solutions.

2)   SOLVATION OF IONS :- Greater the salvation of ions of an electrolyte lesser will be the electrical conductivity of the solution

3)   VISCOSITY OF THE SOLVENT: – Greater the viscosity of the solvent   lesser will be the conductivity of the solution.

4)    TEMPERATURE: – Conductivity of an electrolytic solution increases with the increase in temperature. This is due to increase in ionic mobility.

5)   CONCENTRATION: – With the increase in concentration the conductivity of the solution decreases.
