Question:

The correct expression and unit of molar conductivity ($Λ_m$) are:

Options:

$Λ_m= κc; ohm^{-1}\, mol\, L^{-1}$

$Λ_m= κV; ohm^{-1}\,cm^{2}$

$Λ_m= κV; ohm^{-1}\,cm^{2}\,mol\, L^{-1}$

$Λ_m= κc; ohm\, mol\, L^{-1}$

Correct Answer:

$Λ_m= κV; ohm^{-1}\,cm^{2}\,mol\, L^{-1}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $Λ_m= κV; ohm^{-1}\,cm^{2}\,mol\, L^{-1}$

Molar conductivity is given by the formula:

$\Lambda_m = \kappa \times V$

where

  • $κ$ = conductivity
  • V = volume containing 1 mole of electrolyte (in cm³)

The unit of molar conductivity is:

$\text{ohm}^{-1}\,\text{cm}^2\,\text{mol}^{-1}$

✅ Correct answer: $Λ_m= κV; ohm^{-1}\,cm^{2}\,mol\, L^{-1}$
