Q76 / 200 · NEET 2023 (All India) · Chemistry

The conductivity of centimolar solution of KCl at 25°C is 0.0210 ohm-1 cm-1 and the resistance of the cell containing the solution at 25°C is 60 ohm. The value of cell constant is

  • A
    3.34 cm-1
  • B
    1.34 cm-1
  • C
    3.28 cm-1
  • Correct answer
    D
    1.26 cm-1

Solution

Conductivityκ=0.0210 ohm-1cm-1

ResistanceR=60 ohm

The relation between specific conductance or conductivity and resistance is 

κ=1Rla

In the above equation la is the cell constant.

la=κ×R

⇒la=0.0210×60=1.26 cm-1

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