The unit for molar conductivity is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → $S\, m^2\, mol^{-1}$
The correct unit of molar conductivity ($Λ_m$) is:
$\text{S m}^2\text{mol}^{-1}$
Why:
Molar conductivity is defined as
$Λ_m=\frac{Κ}{c}$
where
• Κ (conductivity) has unit $\text{S m}^{-1}$,
• c (concentration) has unit $\text{mol m}^{-3}$.
So,
$Λ_m=\frac{\text{S m}^{-1}}{\text{mol m}^{-3}}=\text{S m}^2\text{mol}^{-1}$
