The statement is False. When sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to acetic acid (CH₃COOH), it reacts to form sodium acetate and water. This reaction increases the number of ions in the solution, which enhances its conductivity. As a result, the conductance of the solution actually increases rather than decreases.
