17. In the initial phase of the reaction, the conductivity is partially due to the presence of the benzhydrylium ions. Since the maximum of the benzhydryliums ions is only 3% of the initial concentration of benzhydryl acetate, we have neglected the fact that the specific conductivity of benzhydrylium ions differs from that of trialkylammonium ions.
