Identify the factor from the following that does not affect electrolytic conductance of a solution.

(A)The nature of the electrolyte added.
(B)The nature of the electrode used.✓ Correct
(C)Concentration of the electrolyte.
(D)The nature of solvent used.

Answer: (B)

Solution

The conductance of an electrolytic solution depends on the nature and concentration of the electrolyte and on the nature of the solvent (all of which affect the number and mobility of ions in solution). The nature of the electrode material used to make electrical contact does not itself affect the conductance of the solution.
