Law

Solution

Kohlrausch’s law states that the molar conductivity of an electrolyte at infinite dilution is the same as the sum of the anions' and cations' limited molar conductivities.

`∧_m^° = v_+  λ_+^° + v_-  λ_-^°`

Here `λ_+^°` and `λ_-^°` are limiting molar conductivities of cations and anions.
