Ionics Flashcards
Resistivity (p)
The opposition to the flow of electric current by a specific substance . Measured in ohm metre (♎️.m)
Conductance
The ease with which electric current flows. The reciprocal of resistance. Measured in ohm-1 or Siemens (S)
Resistance (R)
The opposition to the flow of electric current . Measured in ohms ♎️
Conductivity
The degree in which electric current flows through a specific substance. The reciprocal of resistivity
Limiting molar conductivity
Molar conductivity at infinite dilution
Kohlrausch’s law of independent migration of ions
Limiting molar conductivity for any electrolyte can be expressed as the sun of independent contributions from the constituent cations and anions present
An application of kohlrauschs law
Determination of the degree of dissociation (alpha) of a weak electrolyte
Conductometric titration
Mixture of a strong and weak acid vs. Strong base
