Kohlrausch's Law
According to Kohlrausch's law, the molar conductivity at infinite dilution for a salt can be calculated from:
Select the correct option:
Solution
Sum of molar conductivities of ions
Kohlrausch's Law of Independent Migration of Ions states that at infinite dilution, where dissociation is complete, each ion makes a definite contribution to the total molar conductivity, regardless of the nature of the other ion.
- Formula: Λm∘=ν+λ+∘+ν−λ−∘
- λ+∘,λ−∘ are limiting molar conductivities of cations and anions.
- ν+,ν− are the number of cations and anions produced by one formula unit of the salt.
- Therefore, the total molar conductivity is the sum of the individual ionic conductivities.
