Step-by-Step Solution
Limiting molar conductivity refers specifically to the theoretical value of molar conductivity attained by an electrolytic solution when the overall concentration of the dissolved electrolyte approaches extremely close to zero, or when infinite dilution of the solution is experimentally or theoretically reached. At this extreme condition of infinite dilution, interionic forces of electrostatic attraction and repulsion between the dissociated ions become completely negligible, ensuring that each individual ion contributes maximally and completely independently to the electrical conductivity of the solution.
