Solution
The correct option is CKCl The cell constant is a factor that is used to convert the measured conductance to conductivity.
Conductivity× (S•cm−1) = cell constant (cm−1) x conductance (S)
It is determined by the geometry of the cell, but in practical terms can only be measured using a standard of known conductivity, for example KCl which is strong electrolyte.
