In electrochemistry, specific conductance is defined as (1000/N)* k, where N is the normality of the salt solution and k is the specific conductance. Current is carried by both anions and cations to a different degree. Thus, the equivalence of a salt is the sum of the ionic conductances of the cation and anion.
