Question

An increase in salinity results in______ in electrical conductivity.

increase
decreese
no charge

Answer 1

OK so when salinity increases it leads to an increase in electrical conductivity. 

Answer 2

increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase in salinity is caused by the addition of salts such as NaCl to water. Ionic compounds like salts ionize in water to form cations and anions such as,

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

The cation gets attracted to the negative electrode and the anion gets attracted to the positive electrode. Electrons released in the ionization of the atoms to form ions is responsible for generating electricity as electricity is simply the flow of electrons across a potential difference.
