Independent Migration of Ions: Kohlrausch’s Law In 1874, Kohlrausch formulated the law of independent migration of ions based on the experimental data of conductivities of…

The electrophoretic effect is the effect in which the mobility of ions in solution moving under the influence of an applied electric field is affected…

Relaxation effect is called the asymmetry effect, may be looked upon from a different perspective. Once the external field is applied, the central ion starts…

Relaxation Effect of Electrolytic Solution When an electrical potential is applied to an electrolytic solution, two effects produced by the ionic atmosphere prevent the ions…

Debye-Huckel-Onsager Limiting Theory: On increasing the dilution the average distance between ions increases and, therefore, the retarding force decreases and there is an increase in…

Debye-Huckel-Onsager Theory A theory providing quantitative results for the conductivity of ions in dilute solutions of strong electrolytes, which enables the Kohlrausch equation to be…

The Conductance Ratio The conductance of one mole of a particular electrolyte in solution will depend on (a) the number of ions and (b) the…

Conductance and Electrolyte Concentration The conductivity of an electrolyte solution depends on concentration of the ionic species and behaves differently for strong and weak electrolytes.…

Conductance Cell: Cell Constant A conductance cell is a devise to measure the conductance of electrolytic solutions. Different forms of cells are in use for…

Conductivity Water For conductance measurements it is necessary to use very pure water because the impurities, if present, might contribute to the total conductance, thereby…
