Step-by-Step Verified Solution

The graph is drawn using following equation,

Λm=Λm∞−bc{\Lambda _m} = \Lambda _m^\infty - b\sqrt c

As the size of K+ is higher than the size of Na+, then the hydration radii of aqueous Na+ will be more than the aqueous K+. Therefore the ionic mobility of Na+ will be smaller than K+. Hence the conductance of K+ will be higher.

  ∴\therefore Λm∞\Lambda _m^\infty of K+ > Λm∞\Lambda _m^\infty of Na+

⇒\Rightarrow Λm∞\Lambda _m^\infty (KCl) > Λm∞\Lambda _m^\infty (NaCl)

So, y intercept is more for KCl.

As slope b is constant both the lines will be parallel.
