While Calculating Λm\Lambda_m if κ\kappa is in S⋅cm−1S \cdot cm^{-1} Where does the 1000 go?

Expert Answer

Λm=κ×1000M\Lambda_m = \frac{\kappa \times 1000}{M} Unit: S⋅cm2⋅mol−1S \cdot cm^2 \cdot mol^{-1} Reason: 1L=1000cm31 L = 1000 cm^3 . We multiply by 1000 to convert the volume to cm3cm^3 to match the Kappa unit. Trick: Centimeter starts with C →\rightarrow Ceiling (Numerator).
