JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 16th March Evening Shift - No. 16)

A 5.0 m mol dm$$-$$3 aqueous solution of KCl has a conductance of 0.55 mS when measured in a cell of cell constant 1.3 cm$$-$$1. The molar conductivity of this solution is ___________ mSm2 mol$$-$$1. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).
Answer
14

Explanation

Conductance = $${{Conductivity} \over {Cell\,cons\tan t}}$$

$$ \therefore $$ Conductivity = 0.55 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$3 $$\times$$ 1.3 S cm$$-$$1

Molar conductivity = $${{Conductivity\,(S\,c{m^{ - 1}}) \times 1000} \over {Molarity\,(mol/L)}}$$

$$ = {{0.55 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} \times 1.3 \times 100} \over {5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}$$

= 143 S cm2 mol$$-$$1

= 14.3 mS m2 mol$$-$$1

$$ \approx $$ 14 mS m2 mol$$-$$1
