(c) $\lambda_{C}=\lambda_{\infty}-(B) \sqrt{C}$

(b) $\lambda_{C}=\lambda_{\infty}-(B) C$

(d) $\lambda_{C}=\lambda_{\infty}+(B) \sqrt{C}$

Solution:

  1. According to Debye Huckel Onsager equation,

$$ \lambda_{C}=\lambda_{\infty}-B \sqrt{C} $$

where, $\lambda_{C}=$ limiting equivalent conductivity at concentration $C$

$$ \lambda_{\infty}=\text { limiting equivalent conductivity at infinite dilution } $$

$$ C=\text { concentration } $$
