The resistance of a conductivity cell containing \(0.001 \mathrm{M}\) KC1 solution at \(300 \mathrm{~K}\) is \(150 \Omega\). What is the cell constant if conductivity of \(\mathrm{KCl}\) solution is \(1.5 \times 10^{-} \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)

  1. A \(0.112 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(0.225 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(0.337 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(0.450 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.225 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know \(\mathrm{K}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{A}}\right)\)
\(\begin{aligned} & 1.5 \times 10^{-3}=\frac{1}{150} \times\left(\frac{L}{A}\right) \\ & \frac{L}{A}=0.225 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\end{aligned}\)
