The conductivity of a solution is defined as the conductance of one unit volume of solution kept between two platinum electrodes with a unit area of cross-section and at a distance of unit length.The molar conductivity of the solution is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by
one gram mole of an electrolyte in a solution. It is denoted by ∧m.The conductivity of a solution (both for strong and weak electrolytes) always decreases with the decrease in concentration of the electrolyte i.e., on dilution. This pattern is seen because the number of ions per unit volume that carry the current in the solution

The following are the real-world applications of electrochemistry - military applications such as thermal batteries, digital watches, hearing aids, digital cameras, electrical appliances such as cellphones, and torches.
It depends on students. Though it is not a tough chapter to study but for students who have misconceptions and those who struggle with visualization can find it challenging.
There are two types of electrochemical cells - Electrolytic and Galvanic or Voltaic cells. The electrolytic cells need an external source such as AC power source or DC battery and it involve non-spontaneous reactions. The galvanic cells gets its energy from redox reactions which is spontaneous.
Redox reactions is the basic principle of the electrochemistry. The redox reactions is the process where electrons are transferred between substances. In this process chemical energy gets converted into electrical energy and vice versa.
