Conductivity of Electrolytes
« on: November 03, 2013, 02:22:46 PM »
Is it possible to change conductivity of an electrolyte W/O changing the ions in the solution? Would it be dilution for weak electrolytes? I'm unsure about strong electrolytes.

Any sources that you can direct me to for help? I'd appreciate any help.

I don't really understand why you want to treat differently weak and strong electrolytes: the conductivity is linked to the ionic species in solution so the only things that changes moving from one to the other is the amount of dissociation.
