CBSEENCH12006002

Calculate the resistance offered by 0.5 M CH3COOH solution when its molar conductivity. is 7.4 Ω–1 cm2 mol–1 and the cell constant is 0.037 cm–1.

Solution
We have gien the molar conductivity 7.4Ω–1 cm2 mol–1
cell constant 0.037cm-1
thus by using formula
k = 1R×lA
and therefore
                      R = 1k×lAk = Λm × C    = 7.4 Ω-1 cm2 mol-1 × 0.5 mol/L     = 7.4 Ω-1 × 0.05 mol1000 cm3     = 3.7 × 10-4 Ω-1 cm-1.
∴     R = 1k.la
              = 13.7 × 10-4Ω-1 cm-1×0.037 cm-1 = 100 Ω.
