Which of the following cannot be used as standard solution for determination of cell constant of conductivity cell?
- A 1 M KCl
- B 0.1 M KCl
- C \(0.01 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{KCl}\)
- D Saturated KCl
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Saturated KCl
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Saturated KCl Solution :
A saturated solution of KCl is not typically used as a standard solution for conductivity calibration. The reason is that a saturated KCl solution may have variable composition due to temperature changes, partial crystallization, and difficulty in ensuring a uniform, reproducible concentration. Thus, it does not have a precisely known or easily reproducible conductivity value as the other standard concentrations do.
Conclusion :
Out of the given options, the saturated KCl solution (Option D) is not suitable for use as a standard solution in determining the cell constant because its concentration and thus its conductivity are not stable or easily reproducible.
