3.9 The resistance of a conductivity cell containing 0.001M KCl solution at 298 K is 1500 . What is the cell constant if conductivity of 0.001M KCl solution at 298 K is 0.146 × 10–3 S cm–1.

Hint:  cell constant = \(\frac{k}{Conductance}\)

Step 1: 

The formula is as follows:

cell constant = \(\frac{k}{Conductance}\)


Given values are as follows:

Conductivity, k=0.146×10-3 S cm-1

Step 2:

Resistance, R=1500 Ω

 Cell constant=k x R

0.146×10-3×1500

=0.219 cm-1
