Question

At low concentrations, Kohlrausch’s law states that the molar conductivities of the strong type of these substances vary linearly with the square root of their concentration. For 10 points each:
[10e] Strong acids and bases are what substances that conduct electricity in an aqueous solution through the movement of their ions?
ANSWER: electrolytes [prompt on ionic solids or soluble ionic salts]
[10h] Lars Onsager used Kohlrausch’s law to modify this theory in order to predict molar conductivity. This theory models unideal electrolyte solutions and is used to find their activity coefficients.
ANSWER: Debye–Hückel theory [accept Debye–Hückel equation or Debye–Hückel law]
[10m] An electrolyte’s dissociation constant is related to molar conductivity in a law developed by this chemist. Ammonia is heated in the presence of a platinum catalyst to produce nitric acid in a process named for this scientist.
ANSWER: Wilhelm Ostwald [accept Ostwald’s law of dilution or Ostwald process]
