For a **strong** electrolyte (e.g. KCl), the variation of molar conductivity $\Lambda$ with $\sqrt{c}$ is:
- Exponential
- Constant
- Quadratic
- Linear (decreasing as $\sqrt c$ increases)
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. Linear (decreasing as $\sqrt c$ increases)
**Kohlrausch's experimental observation:** $\Lambda = \Lambda_0 - a\sqrt c$ for strong electrolytes.
Linear in $\sqrt c$, allowing extrapolation to find $\Lambda_0$.
For weak electrolytes the variation is non-linear.
