Question

What is limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte?

Open in App
Solution

The molar conductivity of a solution at a given concentration is the conductance of the volume of solution containing one mole of electrolyte kept between two electrodes with a unit area of cross section and distance of unit length. The molar conductivity of a solution Increases with the decrease In concentration. This increase in molar conductivity is because of the increase in the total volume containing one mole of the electrolyte. When the concentration of the electrolyte approaches zero, the molar conductivity is known as limiting molar conductivity.
