The resistance of a 0.1 N solution of acetic acid is 250 when measured in a cell of cell constant 1.15 cm-1. The equivalent conductance (in ohm-1 cm2 eq-1) of 0.1 N acetic acid is:
Given:
Solution:
Conductivity, κ = Cell constant / R
= 1.15 / 250
= 0.0046 ohm-1 cm-1
Equivalent conductance, Λeq = (1000 × κ) / N
= (1000 × 0.0046) / 0.1
= 460 ohm-1 cm2 eq-1
