Answer:

C) as ionic strength increases, the value of the activity coefficient increases.

Explanation:

The effective concentration of ions available for reactions is known as the activity of the ion.

The activity coefficient important in chemistry because it accounts for the deviation of a solution from ideal behaviour.

The activity of a chemical species is defines as the product of concentration and activity coefficient.

Following the Debye–Hückel limiting law; log γ = −0.509z2I1/2. The ionic strength of a solution tends to increase as the activity coefficient (γ) of the ion decreases.
