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.
