The conductivity of a strong electrolyte is:

The specific conductance of a $0.01 \, M \, KCl$ solution at $25 \, ^{\circ}C$ is $0.0014 \, \Omega^{-1} \, cm^{-1}$. Its equivalent conductance is ..... (in $\Omega^{-1} \, cm^{2} \, eq^{-1}$).

For a strong electrolyte, $\Lambda_{m}$ increases slowly with dilution and can be represented by the equation $\Lambda_{m} = \Lambda_{m}^{\circ} - Ac^{1/2}$. Molar conductivity values of a solution of strong electrolyte $AB$ at $18^{\circ} C$ are given below:
$c \ [mol \ L^{-1}]$$0.04$$0.09$$0.16$$0.25$
$\Lambda_{m} \ [S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}]$$96.1$$95.7$$95.3$$94.9$
