These numbers show clearly that there is an increase in ionic velocity
as the dilution proceeds. Moreover, if we compare the values for the
chlorine ion obtained from observations on these three different salts,
we see that as the concentrations diminish the velocity of the chlorine
ion becomes the same in all of them. A similar relation appears in other
cases, and, in general, we may say that at great dilution the velocity
of an ion is independent of the nature of the other ion present. This
introduces the conception of specific ionic velocities, for which some
values at 18° C. are given by Kohlrausch in Table X.:--
