State the following:
Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions.

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.
