explain the relation between conductivity and molar conductivity of a solution?
m=K x 1000/M
K=kappa=conductivity
M=molarity
Molar conductivity:
Molar conductivity of a solution at a given concentration is the conductance of volume V of a solution containing 1 mole of the electrolyte kept between two electrodes with the area of cross-section A and distance of unit length.
Now, l = 1 and A = V (volume containing 1 mole of the electrolyte).
Molar conductivity increases with a decrease in concentration. This is because the total volume V of the solution containing one mole of the electrolyte increases on dilution.
The variation of withfor strong and weak electrolytes is shown in the following plot:
