Resistance of a conductivity cell (cell constant 129 m-1) filled with 74.5ppm solution of KCl is 100 Ω (labelled as solution 1). When the same cell is filled with KCl solution of 149ppm, the resistance is 50 Ω (labelled as solution 2). The ratio of molar conductivity of solution 1 and solution 2 is i.e. 12=x×10-3. The value of x is____Given, molar mass of KCl is 74.5 g mol-1)

Solution

Given lA=129 m-1

KCl solution 1:

74.5ppm,   R1=100 Ω

KCl solution 2:

149ppm,    R2=50 Ω

Here, ppm1ppm2=M1M2

and κ = 1RG*   where G* = cell constant

Since value of cell constant is same in both the cases.

k1k2 = R2R1

12=k1×1000M1k2×1000M2

=K1 K2×M2M1 = R2 R1×M2M1

=50100×14974.5 = 1

=12=1,000×10-3
