The resistance of \(0.2 \mathrm{M}\) solution of an electrolyte is \(30 \mathrm{ohm}\) and conductivity are \(1.2 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~m}^{-1}\). What is the value of cell constant?

  1. A \(0.47 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(0.1 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(0.36 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(0.2 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.36 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { Conductivity }(\mathrm{k})=\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}} \cdot \frac{1}{\mathrm{~A}} \quad \frac{1}{\mathrm{~A}}=\) \(\text {cell constant} \)
\( \frac{1}{\mathrm{~A}}=\mathrm{k} \times \mathrm{R}=1.2 \times 30 \)
\( =36 \mathrm{~m}^{-1} \)
\( =\frac{36}{100} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1} \)
\( \frac{1}{\mathrm{~A}}=0.36 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
