Question

What is molar conductivity? How is it related to the concentration of electrolyte?

Open in App
Solution

Molar conductivity is defined as the conductivity of an electrolytic solution divided by the molar concentration of the electrolyte, so it measures the efficiency a given electrolyte that conducts electricity in solution. It is the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving one mole of an electrolyte in solution.

Λm=kc

Where Λm is molar conductivity

κ is the measured conductivity (formerly known as specific conductance)[3]

c is the electrolyte concentration.

So molar conductivity and concentration of electrolyte is inversely proportional to each other.
