Question

What is Kohlrauch law . Give it's main application s ?

Answer 1

Kohlrausch law:

The equivalent conductance of an electrolyte at infinite dilution (Λ_∞ ) is equal to the algebraic sum of equivalent conductance of cation (λ⁺_∞ ) and anion (λ^- _∞ ).
Λ_∞ ^Electrolyte = λ⁺_∞ + λ^- _∞

Applications: 1) In the calculation of ''Λ_∞'' of weak electrolyte.
2) To calculate "α" of weak electrolytes.
3) To calculate solubilities of sparingly soluble salts like BaSO₄.
