QQuestion
Decide which of the following statements is not correct regarding the conductance of electricity through electrolyte
(a) Chemical change occurs
(b) Conducts electricity in dissolved or molten state
(c) Resistance usually increases with the increase in temperature
(d) Electricity is conducted through ions
✓Answer
(c) Resistance usually increases with the increase in temperature
Explanation
This statement is incorrect. In electrolytes, conductivity generally increases with temperature due to higher ion mobility, while resistance decreases.
