MCQ
A conductivity cell has been calibrated with a $0.01 M , 1: 1$ electrolytic solution (specific conductance $\left(\kappa=1.25 \times 10^{-3}\right.$ $S cm ^{-1}$ ) in the cell and the measured resistance was $800 \Omega$ at $25^{\circ} C$. The cell constant is, .........
  • A
    $10^{-1} cm^{-1}$
  • B
    $10^1 cm^{-1}$
  • $1 cm^{-1}$
  • D
    $5.7 \times 10^{-12}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1 cm^{-1}$
A conductivity cell has been calibrated with a $0.01 M , 1: 1$ electrolytic solution (specific conductance ( $k$ $=1.25 \times 10^{-3} S cm ^{-1}$ ) in the cell and the measured resistance was $800 \Omega$ at $25^{\circ} C$. The cell constant is, $1 cm ^{-1}$.
Explanation:
$
\begin{aligned}
& R =\rho \cdot \frac{ l }{ A } \\
& \text { cell constant }=\frac{ R }{\rho} \\
& =\kappa \cdot R\left(\frac{1}{\rho}=\kappa\right) \\
& =1.25 \times 10^{-3} \Omega^{-1} cm ^{-1} \times 800 \Omega \\
& =1 cm ^{-1}
\end{aligned}
