CBSEENCH12005991

The measured resistance of a conductance cell containing 7.5 x 10–3 M solution of KCl at 25° C was 1005 ohms. Calculate (a) specific conductance (b) molar conductance of the solution cell constant = 1.25 cm–1.

Solution
We have given
Resistance = 1005ohm
cell constant =1.25 cm-1 
thus
Specific conductance,


k = 1R×cell constant    = 11005×1.25  1.244×10-3S cm-1Λm = 1000 KM 1000×1.244×10-37.5×10-3S cm2 mol-1  165 s cm2 mol-1.
