Diff b/w molar electrolytic conductivity and conductivity

In summary, molar electrolytic conductivity and conductivity are both measures of a material's ability to conduct electricity, but molar electrolytic conductivity takes into account the concentration of ions in a solution while conductivity does not. They are not interchangeable and have different units of measurement, with molar electrolytic conductivity typically being measured in S/m and conductivity in S/cm. Molar electrolytic conductivity can be measured with a conductivity meter, while conductivity can be measured using various methods.

according to the definition given to me by my book conductivity is the conductance of one unit volume of an electrolyte. on the other hand molar conductivity is the conductivity of one mole electrolytic solution. so what's the difference and how should I relate these 2 terms? will two solutions of different volumes but one mole of the same electrolyte hav same molar conductivity?

Write - precisely - both definitions.
 

1. What is the difference between molar electrolytic conductivity and conductivity?

Molar electrolytic conductivity is a measure of the ability of an electrolyte solution to conduct electricity, while conductivity is a measure of the ease with which a material conducts electricity. Molar electrolytic conductivity takes into account the concentration of ions in the solution, while conductivity does not.

2. How are molar electrolytic conductivity and conductivity related?

Molar electrolytic conductivity and conductivity are both measures of the ability of a material to conduct electricity. However, molar electrolytic conductivity is a more specific measure that takes into account the concentration of ions in a solution, while conductivity is a more general measure that applies to all materials.

3. What are the units of measurement for molar electrolytic conductivity and conductivity?

Molar electrolytic conductivity is typically measured in siemens per meter (S/m), while conductivity is measured in siemens per centimeter (S/cm).

4. Can molar electrolytic conductivity and conductivity be used interchangeably?

No, molar electrolytic conductivity and conductivity cannot be used interchangeably. Molar electrolytic conductivity is a more specific measure that takes into account the concentration of ions in a solution, while conductivity is a more general measure that applies to all materials.

5. How can molar electrolytic conductivity and conductivity be measured?

Molar electrolytic conductivity can be measured using a conductivity meter, while conductivity can be measured using a variety of methods, such as the four-point probe method or the two-point probe method.
