The conductivity value of a liquid increases as the temperature decreases as a result of higher ion mobility.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It Depends On The Liquid
• D. Not Enough Information

Answer: (B)

Ion conductivity in liquids comes from ions moving through the solvent. When temperature rises, the solvent becomes less viscous and ions diffuse more easily, so conductivity increases. If temperature falls, ion mobility generally decreases and conductivity drops. The statement that conductivity increases as temperature decreases contradicts this common behavior, so it’s not correct for typical liquids.
