15. Kohlrausch’s Law of independent migration of ions:

If the limiting molar conductivity of the cations is denoted by λo+ and that of
the anions by λo− then the limiting molar conductivity of electrolyte is:
0
∧m = ν + λ0+ + v − λ0−
Where v+ and v- are the number of cations and anions per formula of
electrolyte.

16. Faraday constant: It is equal to 96487 C mol-1 or approximately equal to

96500 C mol-1.
