State the Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions. Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution?

Open in App

Solution

Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions states that the limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte can be represented as the sum individual contributions of its cations & anions. The conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution because less ions are present for conduction.
