Question
Define the following terms: Molar conductivity (⋀m)
Advertisements
Solution
Molar conductivity (Λm) of a solution at a given concentration is the conductance of the volume V of the solution containing one mole of an electrolyte placed between two electrodes with the cross-sectional area (A) and the distance of unit length (l). Therefore
`^^_m=kA/l`
Since, l = 1 and A = V (volume containing one mole of electrolyte)
`^^_m=kV`
