Question

Define the terms given below- (a) Conductivity (b) Molar conductivity What are their units?

Answer 1

a.Conductivity (or specific conductance) of an electrolyte solution is a measure of its ability to conduct electricity. The SI unit of conductivity is siemens per meter (S/m).

b.Molar Conductivity or Molar Conductance. Molar conductivity is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving one mole of an electrolyte in solution. It is denoted by (lambda).

Answer 2

Molar Conductivity or Molar Conductance. Molar conductivity is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving one mole of an electrolyte in solution. It is denoted by (lambda).

unit of molar conductivity?

Molar Conductivity. Here c symbolizes the molar concentration of the electrolyte (in mol/L) and z refers to the electrical charge. The molar conductivity Λm is defined as the conductivity of a 1 molar aqueous solution placed between two plates (electrodes) 1 cmapart.
