 ELECTROCHEMISTRY
Conductivity of Solutions
What is Conductivity?
• Electrical resistance is represented by the symbol ‘R’, and it is measured in ohm (Ω).
• The electrical resistance of any object is directly proportional to its length (l) and
inversely proportional to its area of cross-section (A), i.e.

where the constant of proportionality ρ is called resistivity (specific resistance).

• The inverse of resistance, R, is called conductance, G, and we have the relation

where the constant is called conductivity (specific conductance).

• The SI unit of conductance is Siemens, represented by the symbol ‘S’, and it is equal
to ohm−1 (also known as mho) or Ω−1. The SI unit of conductivity ( ) is S m−1.

Conductivity of Electrolytic (Ionic) Solutions

• Very pure water has small amounts of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions (~10−7M) which
lend it very lowconductivity (3.5 × 10−5 S m−1).
• When electrolytes are dissolved in water, they dissociate to give their own ions in
the solution; hence, its conductivity also increases.

Electrolytic or ionic conductance:

Conductance of electricity by ions present in solutions

Measurement of Conductivity of Ionic Solutions
• We first need to find the resistance of an ionic solution to measure conductivity.
• We face two problems when measuring the resistance of an ionic solution:
1. Passing direct current (DC) changes the composition of the solution
2. A solution cannot be connected to the bridge like a metallic wire or other solid
conductor
• The first difficulty is resolved by using an alternating current (AC) source of power.
The second problem is solved by using a specially designed vessel called conductivity
cell.
➢ Conductivity Cell:

VISIT : https://www.iquanta.in/neet-coaching
• It consists of two platinum electrodes coated with platinum black (finely divided
metallic Pt is deposited on the electrodes electrochemically).
• These have area of cross-section equal to ‘A’ and are separated by distance ‘l’. The
resistance of such a column of solution is then given by the equation:

• The quantity ‘l/A’ is called cell constant and is denoted by the symbol G*. It depends
on the distance between the electrodes and their area of cross-section and has the
dimension [L−1].
• Hence, the cell constant G* is given by the equation:

• When the cell constant is determined, we can use it for measuring the resistance or
conductivity of any solution.
• The set up for the measurement of the resistance is nothing but the well-known
Wheatstone bridge.

• It consists of two resistances R3 and R4, a variable resistance R1 and the conductivity
cell having the unknown resistance R2.
• The Wheatstone bridge is fed by an oscillator O (a source of AC power in the audio
frequency range 550−5000 cycles per second).
• P is a suitable detector (a headphone or other electronic device).
• The bridge is balanced when no current passes through the detector.
• Under these conditions,

• When the cell constant and the resistance of the solution in the cell are determined, the
conductivity of the solution is given by the equation:

Molar Conductivity
• Conductivity of solutions of different electrolytes in the same solvent and at a given
temperature differs due to
1. Charge and size of ions in which they dissociate
2. Concentration of ions or ease with which the ions move under a potential gradient
• Therefore, it becomes necessary to define a quantity called molar conductivity
denoted by the symbol (λm). It is related to the conductivity of the solution by the
equation:

• Unit of λm is in S m2 mol−1.
• Hence, molar conductivity can be given by the formula

Variation of Conductivity and Molar Conductivity with Concentration

• Both conductivity and molar conductivity change with the concentration of the
electrolyte.
• Conductivity always decreases with a decrease in concentration for both weak and
strong electrolytes. It is because the number of ions per unit volume which carry the
current in a solution decreases on dilution.
• Molar conductivity increases with a decrease in concentration. This is because the total
volume (V) of solution containing one mole of electrolyte also increases.
• The decrease in  on dilution of a solution is more than compensated by an increase
in its volume.

 Molar conductivity (λm): Conductance of the electrolytic solution kept between the
electrodes of a conductivity cell at unit distance but having area of cross section
large enough to accommodate sufficient volume of solution which contains one
mole of the electrolyte.

• When concentration approaches zero, the molar conductivity is known as limiting

molar conductivity and is represented by the symbol λom .
• The variation in λm with concentration is different for strong and weak electrolytes.

➢ Strong Electrolytes:
▪ λ increases slowly with dilution and can be represented by the equation:

▪ It can be seen that if we plot λm against c1/2, we obtain a straight line with intercept
equal to λom and slope equal to ‘−A’.

7
VISIT : https://www.iquanta.in/neet-coaching
 ▪ The value of the constant ‘A’ for a given solvent and temperature depends on the
type of electrolyte.

➢ Weak Electrolytes:
▪ Weak electrolytes such as acetic acid have a lower degree of dissociation at higher
concentrations. Hence, for such electrolytes, the change in λm with dilution is due to
1. Increase in the degree of dissociation
2. The number of ions in total volume of solution which contains 1 mol of electrolyte
▪ In such cases, λom increases steeply on dilution, especially near lower
concentrations. Therefore, it cannot be obtained by extrapolating λ m to zero
concentration.
▪ At infinite dilution, electrolyte dissociates
m completely (α = 1), but at such low
concentration, the conductivity of the solution is so low that it cannot be measured
accurately. Therefore, λom for weak electrolytes is obtained by using Kohlrausch’s law
of independent migration of ions.
▪ Thus, at any concentration c, if α is the degree of dissociation, then it can be
approximated to the ratio of molar conductivity, λm, at the concentration c to limiting

molar conductivity λom . m

▪ But we know that for a weak electrolyte,

▪ By putting the value of α in the above equation, we get the equation:
