An electrolyte of a polymer-salt complex of poly (ethylene oxide) - LiCF3SO3 is shaped into a free standing circular film of 20 mm diameter and a thickness of 20μm.When it is sandwiched between 2 stainless steel circular electrodes of the same diameter, this cell exhibits a conductance of 3145 S.What is the specific conductivity of the electrolyte?

  1. A 4mS cm-1
  2. B 0.4S cm-1
  3. C 40mS cm-1
  4. D 0.004 S cm-1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 40mS cm-1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Specific conductance is given by κ=1R×lA Here thickness is 20×10-4 cm and radius is 1 cm So κ=3145×20×10-43.14×12 =0.04 Scm-1 κ=40 mS cm-1
