What is the Formula for Equivalent Conductivity and how is it Different from Molar Conductivity Formula

The net conductance of every ion produced from one gramme equivalent of a specific material is referred to as “equivalent conductance.”

The following formula can be used to compute it:

λ=kV 

Where,

V= Volume (in millilitres) containing one gram of the particular electrolyte equivalent.

Molar Conductance:

When one mole of an electrolyte is completely dissociated into its constituent ions, molar conductance is defined as the net conductance of all the ions produced. Molar conductivity has a formula that is very similar to equivalent conductance, however it is indicated by the sign “”.

Molar conductance can be calculated using the following formula:

μ=kV 

It’s worth noting that equivalent conductance can be determined using the following formula:

  • Equivalent Conductance = Molar Conductance / n

n= molecular mass equivalent mass
