Why the Molar Conductance?

The Molar conductance is described as the conductance of all ions produced by one mole of an electrolyte present in a fixed volume of the solution. It is important to note that molar conductivity of both strong and weak electrolytes increases with the depletion in dilution.

Why do we use molar conductivity?

Molar conductivity is the property of an electrolyte solution that is mainly used in determining the efficiency of a given electrolyte in conducting electricity in a solution.

Why molar conductance increases with dilution?

On dilution as volume of solution increases. Thus, the number of ions per ml decreases and hence conductivity decreases. Molar conductivity is defined for 1 mole of ions. Thus on dilution, ions get more apart and mobility of ions increases which leads to increase in molar conductivity of the solution.
