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

Given -


Resistance of a conductivity cell, R = 1500


Electrolytic conductivity of a solution, κ = 0.146 × 10–3 S cm–1


Cell constant = ?


Conductivity, κ =


Cell constant = κ × R


= 0.146 × 10–3 S cm–1×1500


Cell constant = 0.219 cm-1
