Explain the molar conductivity ???
Answers
Molar conductivity of a solution at a given concentration is the conductance of volume V of a solution containing one mole of electrolyte kept between two electrodes with an area of cross-section A and distance of unit length.
Ʌm = К/c
Here,
c = concentration in moles per volume
К = specific conductivity
Ʌm = molar conductivity.
As the solution contains only one mole of electrolyte, the above equation can be modified as:
Ʌm =К V
Molar conductivity increases with decrease in concentration as the total volume, V, of a solution containing one mole of electrolyte also increases. Upon dilution, the concentration decreases. When the concentration approaches zero, the molar conductivity of the solution is known as limiting molar conductivity, Ë°m. Variation of molar conductivity with concentration is different for strong and weak electrolytes.

The molar conductivity of an electrolyte solution is defined as its conductivity divided by its molar concentration.
