What are the respective trends in conductivity and pH as a function of O - H bond length?
As we know pH is a measure of the concentration of H+ ion in the solution, and the conductivity of a solution depends upon the number of ions present in the solution.
So if the bond length of an O-H bond is longer then it will be easier to break the bond between oxygen and hydrogen and get H+, which in turn will increase the concentration of H+.
Hence with increase in bond length the concentration of H+ will increase which will cause the pH to decrease and conductivity to increase as the number of ions will increase.
