A conductivity cell shows resistance of \(600 \mathrm{ohm}\). If conductivity of \(0.01 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{KCl}\) is \(0.0015 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\), what is cell constant?

  1. A \(0.60 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(0.45 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(0.90 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(75 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.90 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{R}=600 \Omega, \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{KCl}}=0.0015 \Omega^{-} \mathrm{cm}^{-1}, \mathrm{c}=\) \(0.01 \mathrm{M} \text { Cell constant }=\)
\(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{KCl}} \times \mathrm{R}_{\text {solution }}=0.0015 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}~ \times\) \(600 \Omega=0.90 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
