Question

A conductance cell was calibrated by filling it with a 0.02 M solution of potassium chloride (specific conductance =0.2768 ohm1m1) and measuring the resistance at 298 K which was found to be 457.3 ohm. The cell was then filled with a calcium chloride solution containing 0.555 g of CaCl2 per litre. The measure resistance was 1050 ohm. Calculate the molar conductivity of CaCl2 solution.

Solution

Determine cell constant with KCl data. Its value is 126.6 m1.
Sp. cond. of CaCl2soln.=Cell const.×1Resistance
=126.6×11050=0.1206 ohm1m1
Molar conductance =Sp.cond.Conc.
Conc.=0.555111.0=0.005 mol dm3=5 mol m3.
