By way of example, for a 2 Molar
potassium chloride (KCl) solution, the condosity would be expected to be somewhat greater than 2.0. This is because
potassium is a better conductor than
sodium.
Applications
The measurement is sometimes used in biological systems to provide an assessment of the properties of bodily or cellular liquids,[4][3][5] or the properties of solutes in the physical environment.[6] When measuring the properties of bodily fluids such as
urine, condosity is expressed in units of millimoles per litre (mM/L).[7][8]
