electrochemistry - Effect of concentration on molar conductance


It has been stated that the molar conductance($\Lambda_m$) of strong electrolytes is not affected to a greater extent on dilution and so to find the limiting value of molar concentration($\Lambda_m^0$) we can extrapolate the graph of molar conductance vs the concentration ($\sqrt c$). But as the concentration would near zero shouldn't the molar conductance decrease sharply to the range of say $10^{-8}$ which is the conductance of distilled water as the amount of solute that is the strong electrolyte would be negligible to consider?Also in this case extrapolating the graph should not be possible?

Apparently the of last four, $\ce{Mg^2+}$ is closest in radius to $\ce{Li+}$. Is this true, and if so, why would a whole larger shell ($\ce{...
