The values of conductivity of some materials at 298.15K in Sm1 are 2.1×103, 1.0×1016, 1.2×10,3.91, 1.5×102, 1×107, 1.0×103. The number of conductors among the materials is _____.

Solution

Molar conductivity is the conductance property of a solution containing one mole of the electrolyte, or it is a function of the ionic strength of a solution or the concentration of salt. 

Λm = K / C

Where K is the specific conductivity and

C is the concentration in mole per litre.

Conductivity Sm1

2.1×1031.2×103.911×103 conductors at 298.15K

1×1016 Insulator at 298.15K

1.5×1021×107 Semiconductor at 298.15K

Therefore number of conductors is 4.
