Question
Give the main difference between electrolytic conductivity and molar conductivity with respect to concentration.
Distinguish Between
Solution
Electrolytic conductivity | Molar conductivity | |
Definition | Conductivity is the measure of an electrolyte’s ability to conduct electricity through it. | Molar conductivity is the conductivity of an electrolytic solution measured per unit molar concentration of the solution. |
Molar Concentration | Molar concentration of the electrolytic solution not considered when determining the conductivity. | The concentration of electrolytic solution should be considered when determining the molar conductivity. |
Uses | Mainly used to determine the presence or absence of conductive ions in solution. | Useful in giving the dissociation constant of a weak electrolyte as a function of concentration in Ostwald's law of dilution. |
