Conductivity of CH\(_3\)COOH decreases on dilution.
Conductivity of CH\(_3\)COOH decreases on dilution.
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
The conductivity of acetic acid (CH\(_3\)COOH) decreases on dilution because it is a weak electrolyte that ionizes only partially in solution. As the solution is diluted, the number of ions in the solution decreases, reducing the overall conductivity. In the case of weak electrolytes like acetic acid, dilution reduces the concentration of dissociated ions, leading to a decrease in electrical conductivity.

- Faraday’s First Law of Electrolysis
Faraday's first law of electrolysis states that the mass of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity (charge) passed through the electrolyte.
Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ m = ZQ \] where:- \( m \) is the mass of the substance deposited (in grams),
- \( Z \) is the electrochemical equivalent of the substance,
- \( Q \) is the total charge passed through the electrolyte (in coulombs).
