Factors Affecting Conductivity of Electrolytes 

Dear sir,

I would like to know what are the factors affecting the conductivity of electrolytes.

Please to reply,

Conductivity of electrolytes depends on two things: the nature of ions in the solution and (2) the type of electrode used for measuring conductivity. As for the nature of ions, the more the ions in the solution, the higher the conductivity. The same applies for ions with larger valence. The electrode itself and the technique of measurement also affect the result.

Conductivity of electrolytes depends on:
- Concentration usually expressed in mg/l, at low concentrations conductivity increase3s with the square root of concentration.
- Type of salt in solution: NaCl, KCl, NaHCO3 or other
- Temperature - the higher the temperature the higher the mobility of ions, hence the conductivity.
