MHT CET Chemistry question

The value of molar conductivity of HCl is greater than that of NaCl at a particular temperature because

(A)Molecular mass of HCl is less than that of NaCl
(B)Velocity of ions is more than that of ionsCorrect
(C)HCl is strongly acidic
(D)Ionization of HCl is larger than that of NaCl

Answer: (B)

Solution

Both HCl and NaCl are strong electrolytes (fully ionised), so the difference arises from ionic mobility: moves exceptionally fast (Grotthuss mechanism),
