Question

Define limiting molar conductivity.

Define the following term:

Limiting molar conductivity (∧°m)

Answer 1

The limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte is defined as its molar conductivity when the concentration of the electrolyte in the solution approaches zero.

Answer 2

When the concentration of an electrolytic solution placed between electrodes of a conductivity cell placed at a unit distance having an area of cross-section sufficient to accommodate enough volume of solution containing one mole of electrolyte approaches zero, then the conductance of the solution is known as limiting molar conductivity.
