SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the conductance of weak electrolytes, specifically addressing the confusion between two approaches to calculating conductivity at infinite dilution. One participant references a textbook that states α = 1 (100%) at infinite dilution, while another expresses doubt due to the lack of consideration for a 6% concentration in the textbook's solution. Ultimately, the consensus is that the handwritten solution aligns with the textbook's approach, confirming its correctness.
