Q1 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2010 · Chemistry

A solution of concentration $C g$ equiv/L has a specific resistance $R$. The equivalent conductance of the solution is

  • A
    $\frac{R}{C}$
  • B
    $\frac{C}{R}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\frac{1000}{R C}$
  • D
    $\frac{1000 R}{C}$

Solution

Equivalent conductivity, $\wedge_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{\text { specific conductance } \times 1000}{\text { concentration }(\text { in g equiv } / \mathrm{L})}$ $\because$ Specific conductance $=\frac{1}{\text { specific resistance }}$ (Given, concentration $=C$ g equiv $/ \mathrm{L})$ $\therefore \quad \wedge_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{1}{R} \times \frac{1000}{C}$ or $\quad=\frac{1000}{R C}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
