Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(95.5 \mathrm{~Scm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The resistance \(R\) of the solution is given by Ohm's law: \(R = \dfrac{V}{I} = \dfrac{40 \text{ V}}{0.4 \text{ A}} = 100 \text{ } \Omega\). The area of cross-section \(A\) of the column is \(\pi r^2\). Given diameter \(d = 4.0 \text{ cm}\), the radius \(r = 2.0 \text{ cm}\).…
