Why This Question Is Tricky
Common Mistakes
Tests the assumption that conductivities of mixed electrolytes are strictly additive.
At extremely low concentrations, the common ion effect suppresses water's auto-protolysis, meaning .
Subtracting the conductivity of pure water from the solution's conductivity yields an anomalously low apparent molar conductivity for the solute.
