Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

  • The molar conductivity of weak electrolytes at infinite dilution cannot be
  • determined experimentally, firstly because the conductance of such a solution is
  • low and secondly because dissociation of such an electrolytes is not completed
  • even at high dilutions.
  • The molar conductivity of such an electrolyte at infinite dilution can be
  • calculated using Kohlrausch’s law.

  • Kohlrausch's law states that the equivalent conductivity of an
  • electrolyte at infinite dilution is equal to the sum of the
  • conductances of the anions and cations. If a salt
  • is dissolved in water, the conductivity of the solution
  • is the sum of the conductances of the anions and cations.
  • Hence,Both Assertion and reason are correct.
