An increase in equivalent conductance of a strong electrolyte with dilution is mainly due to:

  1. A
    Increase in number of ions
  2. B
    Increase in ionic mobility of ions
  3. C
    ionisation of electrolyte at normal dilution
  4. D
    Increase in both i.e. number of ions and ionic mobility of ions

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Strong electrolytes are already completely ionized even at high concentrations. When the solution is diluted, the inter-ionic attractions (ion-ion interactions) decrease as the distance between ions increases. This allows the ions to move more freely, leading to an increase in ionic mobility, which in turn increases the equivalent conductance.
