Given below is the plot of the molar conductivity vs $\sqrt{\text { concentration }}$ for KCl in aqueous solution.

If, for the higher concentration of KCl solution, the resistance of the conductivity cell is $100 \Omega$, then the resistance of the same cell with the dilute solution is ' $x$ ' $\Omega$
The value of $x$ is __________ (Nearest integer)

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}=\rho \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}} \\ & \kappa=\mathrm{G} \cdot \mathrm{G}^* \quad \mathrm{G}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}} ; \kappa=\frac{1}{\rho}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{G}^*= & \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}} \\ \mathrm{R} & =\text { Resistance } \\ \rho & =\text { Resistivity } \\ \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}} & =\text { cell constant }\left(\mathrm{G}^*\right)\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\kappa_{\mathrm{c}}}{\kappa_{\mathrm{d}}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{d}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{c}}} ; \lambda_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\kappa \times 1000}{\mathrm{C}} \\ & \frac{\kappa_{\mathrm{c}}}{\kappa_{\mathrm{d}}}=\frac{\left(\lambda_{\mathrm{m}} \cdot \mathrm{C}\right)}{\left(\lambda_{\mathrm{m}} \cdot C\right)_{\mathrm{d}}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{d}}}{R_{\mathrm{c}}} \quad \\ & \mathrm{c}=\text { concentrated sol. } \quad \mathrm{d} \text { = diluted solution } \\ & \frac{100 \cdot(0.15)^2}{150.(0.1)^2}=\frac{R_{\mathrm{d}}}{100} \\ & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{d}}=150 \Omega\end{aligned}$
