From graph:
Slope = 8817.6
Intercept = -100.37
Therefore intercept =koCA = -100.37
ko= -100.37/ CA = -100.37/ 0.04 = -2509.25 L/gmol
Slope= αCAko= 8817.6
α= 8817.6/CAko = 8817.6/0.04* (-2509.25)
α= -87.851

Intercept = -64.553
Therefore intercept =koCA = -64.553
ko= -64.553/ CA = -64.553/ 0.02 = -3227.65 L/gmol
Slope= αCAko= 11915

Comments/Conclusions: From above calculations we can conclude that if concentration of

NaOH is higher conductivity is higher similarly if temperature is higher then also conductivity is
higher.
Values of α and ko are higher (greater) for 0.04M than for 0.02M solution. This also indicate higher
value of conductivity for higher concentration of NaOH.
