The reversible work done by a galvanic cell is equal to decrease in its Gibbs energy and therefore, if the emf of the cell is E and nF is the amount of charge passed and ΔrG is the Gibbs energy of the reaction, then
Molar conductivity denoted by the symbol Λm is related to the conductivity of the solution by the equation (K is the conductivity and c the concentration)
Difference between ionic (electrolytic) and electronic conductivity is that electronic conductance takes place in metals by ________ conductance takes place in solutions by ions
When measuring conductivity with a conductivity cell, cell constant denoted by the symbol G* is given by (electrode area of cross section equal to ‘A’ and separated by distance ‘l’)
Conductivity always decreases with decrease in concentration both, for weak and strong electrolytes because of the fact that
