The correct expression and unit of molar conductivity ($Λ_m$) are:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → $Λ_m= κV; ohm^{-1}\,cm^{2}\,mol^{-1}$
Molar conductivity is given by the formula:
$\Lambda_m = \kappa \times V$
where
- Conductivity ($\kappa$): $ohm^{-1} cm^{-1}$ (also known as $S \ cm^{-1}$).
- Volume ($V$): $cm^{3}$ per mol (or $cm^{3} \ mol^{-1}$).
Multiplying them together:
$\Lambda_{m} = (ohm^{-1} cm^{-1}) \times (cm^{3} mol^{-1})$
$\Lambda_{m} = ohm^{-1} cm^{2} mol^{-1}$
