The molar conductivity of an electrolyte is a measure of how well it conducts electricity in solution . It is calculated by dividing the conductivity ( how well the electrolyte conducts electricity ) by the molar concentration ( how much the electrolyte is diluted : a solution means that it has been dissolved in something else : see solution ) . Molar conductivity is defined as the conductivity of an electrolyte solution divided by the molar concentration of the electrolyte , and so measures the efficiency with which a given electrolyte conducts electricity in solution .
