From Table , it is clear that Ostwald’s dilution law does not hold in the case of strong electrolytes. The only conclusion to be drawn is that for strong electrolytes m / is not equal to the degree of ionization. In the case of strong electrolytes m m/ is actually a measure of the variation of ionic speed with concentration. For this reason it is preferable to call this ratio the conductance ratio.
