    Molar conductance is defined as the conductance of all ions produced by 1 mole of electrolyte dissolved in V mL of solution. It is calculated by dividing the conductance k by the volume in mL or concentration in moles per liter. Equivalent conductance is the molar conductance divided by the number of ions produced per molecule. Specific conductance of a solution is measured using a Wheatstone bridge circuit to determine the resistance of the solution and calculate conductance from its reciprocal. Changes in concentration and electrode polarization can affect resistance measurements.

    Molar conductance
    Molar conductance
    The molar conductance is defined as the conductance of all the ions produced
    by ionization of 1 g mole of an electrolyte when present in V mL of solution. It is
    denoted by .

    Molar conductance μ = k ×V .... (vii)

    where V is the volume in mL containing 1 g mole of the electrolyte. If c is the


    concentration of the solution in g mole per litre, then

    μ = k × 1000/c

    It units are ohm-1 cm2 mol-1.

    Equivalent conductance = (MOlar conductance)/n

    where n = (Molecular mass)/(Equivalent mass)

    Measurement of conductance
    It is now known to us that when the solution of an electrolyte is taken between
    two parallel electrodes of cross-sectional area 'a' and 'l' cm apart, then the
    specific conductance, k, should be:

    k= 1/a.1/R

    Thus, knowing the values of R, l and a, the specific conductance can be


    measured. The resistance of the solution between two parallel electrodes is
    determined by using Wheatstone bridge method. The diagram of the apparatus
    is shown in Fig. 12.4 AB is a uniform wire and X is a sliding contact which moves
    over it. C is the conductivity cell containing the solution of the electrolyte and S
    represents the source of alternating current. R is the resistance box and T is a
    headphone to detect the flow of current. A suitable resistance is taken out from
    the resistance box and the sliding contact X is moves on the wire to search a
    point of minimum sound in the headphone. At this point, the bridge is balanced.

    (Resistance of solution)/(Resistance from resistance box)

    =(Resistance XB)/(Resistance XA)

    =(Length XB)/(Length XA)

    Thus, resistance of solution can be used because it produce two complications.

    (i) Change in the concentration of the solution occurs due to electrolysis which
    will change the resistance.

    (ii) Polarisation at the electrodes sets in which also charges the resistance.
