### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Conductivity:** - Conductivity (k) is defined as the ability of a solution to conduct electric current. It is specifically the conductance of ions produced by 1 gram equivalent of an electrolyte in a volume V (in cm³) of solution. The conditions for this definition include: - The distance between the electrodes is 1 cm. - The area of the electrodes is sufficiently large to ensure that the entire solution is contained between them. 2. **Mathematical Representation of Conductivity:** ...
