Question
Explain about the variation of molar conductivity with concentration by Kohiraush studies?

Answer

Kohiraush observed that, increase of molar conductance of an electrolytic solution with the increase in dilution. He deduced the following empirical relationship between the molar conductance $\left(\Lambda_{ m }\right)$ and concentration of the
$
\Lambda_{ m }=\Lambda_{ m }^0- k \sqrt{ c }
$
For strong electrolytes such as $KCl , NaCl$ the plot $\Lambda_{ m } V _s \sqrt{c}$, gives a straight line. It is also observed that the plot is not a linear one for weak electrolyte.
