Vedclass · Answer

(B) The formula for equivalent conductivity is $\Lambda_{eq} = \frac{\kappa 	imes 1000}{C}$.Here,$\kappa$ is the specific conductivity $(ohm^{-1} \ cm^{-1})$ and $C$ is the concentration in $gm \ equivalent \ L^{-1}$ (or $gm \ equivalent \ cm^{-3} 	imes 1000$).Substituting the units: $\Lambda_{eq} = \frac{ohm^{-1} \ cm^{-1}}{gm \ equivalent \ cm^{-3}} = ohm^{-1} \ cm^2 \ (gm \ equivalent)^{-1}$.Therefore,the correct unit is $ohm^{-1} \ cm^2 \ (gm \ equivalent)^{-1}$.
