What is Molar ionic conductivity?

Definition 15.14 University Chemistry — Year 1 · Chapter 15 — Titration Methods and Curves

The conductivity κ\kappa of a solution (in S/m\mathrm{S}/\mathrm{m}) measures how well it carries current through the motion of its ions. The molar ionic conductivity λi\lambda_i of an ion is its contribution per mole per unit volume; its value at infinite dilution, λi∘\lambda_i^\circ, is a constant of the ion and the solvent at a given temperature.
