Infinite dilution is a state of dilution in which the concentration does not change when more solvent is added. In chemistry, the concept of infinite dilution is used to investigate how compounds dissolve in different solvents.

The Kohlrausch law can be used to calculate the limiting molar conductivities of any electrolyte. At larger concentrations, weak electrolytes have lower molar conductivities and a lower degree of dissociation.

According to Kohlrausch’s law of independent ion movement, the limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte can be described as the sum individual contributions of its cations and anions. Since fewer ions are present for conduction, a solution’s conductivity decreases with dilution.

It’s used to determine an electrolyte’s dissociation constant. It’s used to find out what a weak electrolyte’s limiting molar conductivity is. This law can also be used to determine the degrees of dissociation of weak electrolytes.

Who discovered the law of independent migration of ions? This law was discovered by Friedrich Kohlrausch after observing experimental data on conductivities of various electrolytes.

Kohlrausch’s law states that the equivalent conductivity of an electrolyte at infinite dilution is equal to the sum of the conductances of the anions and cations. The molar conductivity of a solution at a given concentration is the conductance of the volume of solution containing one mole of electrolyte kept between two electrodes with the unit… Continue reading What is Kohlrausch`s Law?

Kohlrausch Law refers to an electrolyte’s limiting molar conductivity to its constituent ions. It indicates that an electrolyte’s limiting molar conductivity is equal to the sum of the individual limiting molar conductivities of the cations and anions that make up the electrolyte. The Kohlrausch Law of Independent Migration is another name for this law. The… Continue reading Kohlrausch Law
