Question:

A conductance cell when filled with 0.5 M KCl solution (specific conductance = 6.67 x 10-3 Ω-1 cm-1) registers a resistance of 243 Ω. What is the cell constant?

Options:

1.62 cm

1.62 cm-1

1.62 dm-1

1.62 m-1

Correct Answer:

1.62 cm-1

Explanation:

Specific conductance = Conductance x cell constant

Κ = G x σ

Κ = \(\frac{1}{R}\) x σ

6.67 x 10-3 = \(\frac{1}{243}\) x σ

σ = 6.67 x 10-3 x 243 = 1.62 cm-1
