What are the factors that affect the conductance of the solution(short question)
Accepted Answer
The conductance of a solution depends on the following factors:
* Concentration: The higher the concentration of ions in a solution, the higher its conductance.
* Temperature: The higher the temperature of a solution, the higher its conductance. This is because the ions move more quickly at higher temperatures, which increases the number of collisions between the ions and the electrodes.
* Nature of the solvent: The nature of the solvent can also affect the conductance of a solution. Solvents that have a high dielectric constant will increase the conductance of a solution, while solvents with a low dielectric constant will decrease the conductance of a solution.
* Surface area of the electrodes: The larger the surface area of the electrodes, the higher the conductance of the solution.
* Distance between the electrodes: The shorter the distance between the electrodes, the higher the conductance of the solution.
