Electrical conductance due to all the ions in $1 \mathrm{~cm}^3$ of given solution is called as
  1. Molar conductivity
  2. Resistivity
  3. Conductivity
  4. Electrical conductance

Solution

Specific conductance/Conductivity (к):- It is defined as the reciprocal of specific resistance, $\kappa=\frac{1}{\rho}$ $\begin{aligned} \mathrm{R} & =\rho \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}} \\ \frac{1}{\rho} & =\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}} \cdot \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}} \\ \mathrm{K} & =\mathrm{G} \times \mathrm{G}^{\circ} \end{aligned}$ Specific conductance $=$ Conductance $\times$ cell constant Hence specific conductivity of a solution is defined as the conductance offered by $1 \mathrm{~cm}^3$ of electrolytic solution. Unit of $\mathrm{\kappa}$ is ohm ${ }^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$
