THE VARIATION OF SPECIFIC CONDUCTIVITY WITH TEMPERATURE OF NON-AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF WEAK ELECTROLYTES

The variation of specific conductivity with temperature has been studied. It has been observed that, for the solutions of different organic acids in methyl alcohol, the plot of µ-1 is a straight line. But for a few solutions where the viscosity is high the plot of is not a straight line and therefore these solution do not obey Walden's equation (1) and probably these solutions obey the equation of Kohlrausch ( 2 ). Solutions of butyl and propyl alcohols end acetone obey the equation (1) where the conductivity is high, otherwise they obey the equation (2). It has been observed that in the case of substituted bensoic acids the conductivity of the substituted compound follows the order: NH2>NO2>grou
