what are the factors affecting ionic conductance???
The ionic conductance of an electrolyte in solution mainly depends upon the following factors:
1) INTERIONIC INTERACTION AMONG ELECTROLYTE PARTICLES: – 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 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 As the ions get lesser space to move in solution.
