Equivalent Conductance
Equivalent
Conductance. The specific conductance of a solution is
equal to the reciprocal
of the specific resistance of the solution,
which in turn, is equal to the resistance across the opposite faces of a 1 cm
cube of the solution. The conducting
power of all the ions produced by one gram equivalent
of a solution, at any particular concentration, may be evaluated by imagining
two large parallel electrodes set 1 cm apart and assuming the whole of the
solution containing the gram equivalent to be placed between them. The
conductance of the resulting system is called the equivalent conductance at the given concentration.
