Molar conductivity at infinite dilution for some electrolytes in water at 298 K.
The difference in of the two electrolytes containing the same cation or anion is the same. The same differences in led Kohlrausch to postulate that molar conductivity at infinite dilution can be broken down into two contributions by the ions. ionic conductivities at infinite dilution 4) Kohlrausch’s law of independent migration
m at infinite dilution is made up of independent contributions from the cationic and anionic species. Explanation to the same difference
