What is Conductance

Answer: The ease with which electrons pass is referred to as conductance. Most analyses include specific conductance, which was calculated using a conductance bridge and a standard potassium chloride solution as a reference. The tendency of an aqueous solution to convey an electric current is expressed numerically as conductivity.

Conductance is an expression of how easily an ion flows across a membrane, either through active pumps placed in the membrane of ion channels, or when specific ion channels open. The movement of ions conducts electricity through an electrolytic solution. In general, the conductance increases as the number of ions in the solution increases.

The following factors influence the conductivity of electrolytic solutions.

• Attraction on the inside
• Ions are dissolved in water.
• The solvent’s viscosity.
• Temperature
