Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A strong 1:1 electrolyte has at and at . Assume that . Find and the molar conductivity at .
The molar conductivity is . With in and in , in . With in , . A strong electrolyte follows . For a weak electrolyte, .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The square roots. and in .
Step 2. The slope. for each .
Step 3. The intercept. .
Step 4. The new concentration. , so .
Check. The value at is below the value at , as it should be for a more concentrated solution.
Answer: and .
