Q.

The conductivity of centimolar solution of KCl at 25 C is 0.0210 ohm-1 cm-1 and the resistance of the cell containing the solution at 25C is 60 ohm. The value of cell constant is                 [2023]

1 1.26 cm-1  
2 3.34 cm-1  
3 1.34 cm-1  
4 3.28 cm-1  

Ans.

(1)

Given, κ=0.0210 ohm-1 cm-1, R=60 ohm

κ=1R×la  (where la=cell constant)

or       0.0210=160×la

or       la=60×0.0210=1.26 cm-1
