Here's how:
Kohlrausch's Law states that the molar conductivity of a strong electrolyte at infinite dilution is the sum of the limiting ionic conductivities of its constituent ions.
Steps:
1. Identify the limiting ionic conductivities:
* Let Λ°Li+ represent the limiting molar conductivity of the lithium ion (Li+).
* Let Λ°Cl- represent the limiting molar conductivity of the chloride ion (Cl-).
* Let Λ°Na+ represent the limiting molar conductivity of the sodium ion (Na+).
* Let Λ°NO3- represent the limiting molar conductivity of the nitrate ion (NO3-).
2. Write the equations for the given conductivities:
* Λ°LiCl = Λ°Li+ + Λ°Cl-
* Λ°NaNO3 = Λ°Na+ + Λ°NO3-
* Λ°LiNO3 = Λ°Li+ + Λ°NO3-
3. Solve for the desired molar conductivity (Λ°NaCl):
* Λ°NaCl = Λ°Na+ + Λ°Cl-
4. Combine the equations to eliminate unwanted terms:
* Subtract the equation for Λ°LiNO3 from the equation for Λ°NaNO3 to get:
Λ°NaNO3 - Λ°LiNO3 = Λ°Na+ - Λ°Li+
* Add this result to the equation for Λ°LiCl:
(Λ°NaNO3 - Λ°LiNO3) + Λ°LiCl = Λ°Na+ - Λ°Li+ + Λ°Li+ + Λ°Cl-
* Simplify: Λ°NaCl = Λ°NaNO3 - Λ°LiNO3 + Λ°LiCl
Therefore, the molar conductivity of NaCl at infinite dilution (Λ°NaCl) is equal to the sum of the molar conductivities of NaNO3 and LiCl minus the molar conductivity of LiNO3.
Important Note: This method relies on the assumption that all the electrolytes are strong electrolytes, meaning they fully dissociate into ions in solution.
