    Conductivity, help!
    Hi,

    Why is the conductivity of methanol at high concentration so low?

    also why does molar conductivity of KCl decrease as the electrolyte concentration is increased? - i think it's something to do with kohlrausch's law but i'm confused as to why it doesn't decrease,

    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Re: Conductivity, help!
    Methanol cannot conduct electrons, so all conductivity will come from ions. What is the pKa of methanol? Does this help?

    I'm not quite sure what you're asking for the 2nd question!
