Conductors allow the passage of electric current through them. Metallic and electrolytic are the two types of conductors. Current carriers in metallic and electrolytic conductors are free electrons and free ions respectively. Specific conductance or conductivity of the electrolyte solution is given by thefollowing relation: K= cx (l)/(A) where, c=1/R is the conductance and 1/A is the cell constant, Molar conductance (^^_m) andequivalence conductance (^^_e) of an electrolyte solution are calculated using the following similar relations: ^^_m = K xx (1000)/(M) ^^_(e) = K xx (1000)/(N) where, M and N are the molarity and normality of the solution respectively. Molar conductance of strong electrolyte depends on concentration : ^^_m = ^^_m^(0) - b sqrt(C) ^^_m^(0) = molar conductance at infinite dilution C = concentration of the solution b = constant The degrees of dissociation of weak electrolytes are calculated asalpha= (^^_m)/(^^_m^(0)) = (^^_e)/(^^_e^(0)) Which of the following equality holds good for the strong electrolytes?

power of AC source.
distance between the electrodes.

SOLUTION :* Conductivity or SPECIFIC conductance `kappa` (kappa): It is the conductance of solution KEPT between TWO electrodes with 1 `m^(2)` area of cross section and distance of 1 m. it is the reciprocal of resistivity `(p)`.
`k=(1)/(p)`.
* SI unit of `k=S" "m^(-1)`. it depends on the nature of the electrolyte and concentration of the electrolyte.
* Conductivity does not depend on power of AC source and distance between two ions.
* The conductivity of the electrolytic solution depend on (i) nature of added electrolyte (ii) volume of produced ions and their solvation capacity (iii) nature of solvent and its viscosity and (iv) temperature.
* So, conductivity depend on (A) nature of electrolyte and (B) concentration of electrolyte.
