It is not possible to determine the molar conductivity of weak electrolyte at infinite dilution`(Lambda_m^@)` graphically by extrapolation.
Justify the statement giving reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Lambda_m` of weak electrolytes (eg: CH,COOH) increases with dilution, and towards infinite. dilution. it increases steeply and the graph is parallelto the y-axis. Hence `Lambda^circ`, can not be obtained experimentally.
