Kohlrausch's square-root law (strong electrolytes) (Λm = Λm° − A√c (linear drop with √c))
jee-mainjee-advancedneet-ug
Λm = Λm° − A√c (linear drop with √c)
What each symbol means
| Symbol | What it stands for |
|---|---|
| A | Positive constant depending on solvent, temperature, electrolyte |
| c | Concentration |
| \Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^\circ | Limiting molar conductivity at infinite dilution |
When to use this
Dilute strong electrolyte; empirical linear Λm vs √c plot extrapolates to Λm°.
