While Calculating Λm\Lambda_m if κ\kappa is in Sm1S \cdot m^{-1} Where does the 1000 go?

Expert Answer

Λm=κM×1000\Lambda_m = \frac{\kappa}{M \times 1000} Unit: Sm2mol1S \cdot m^2 \cdot mol^{-1} Reason: To match SI units ( m3m^3 ), we convert Liters. Since 1L=11000m31 L = \frac{1}{1000} m^3 , the conversion factor moves to the denominator. Trick: Meter starts with M \rightarrow Mud (Denominator).
