SUMMARY
Conductivity is defined as the conductance of one unit volume of an electrolyte, while molar conductivity refers to the conductivity of one mole of an electrolytic solution. Molar conductivity is calculated by dividing the conductivity of the solution by the molarity of the electrolyte. Two solutions containing one mole of the same electrolyte, regardless of their volumes, will exhibit the same molar conductivity, as it is an intrinsic property of the electrolyte in solution.
