JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 28th January Morning Shift - No. 24)

Given below is the plot of the molar conductivity vs $\sqrt{\text { concentration }}$ for KCl in aqueous solution.

JEE Main 2025 (Online) 28th January Morning Shift Chemistry - Electrochemistry Question 1 English

If, for the higher concentration of KCl solution, the resistance of the conductivity cell is $100 \Omega$, then the resistance of the same cell with the dilute solution is ' x ' $\Omega$

The value of $x$ is _________ (Nearest integer)

Answer
150

Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}=\rho \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}} \\ & \kappa=G \cdot G^* \quad G=\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}} ; \kappa=\frac{1}{\rho} \\ & \mathrm{G}^*=\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}} \\ & \mathrm{R}=\text { Resistance } \\ & \rho=\text { Resistivity } \\ & \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{A}}=\text { cell } \operatorname{constant}\left(\mathrm{G}^*\right) \\ & \frac{\kappa_{\mathrm{c}}}{\kappa_{\mathrm{d}}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{d}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{c}}} ; \lambda_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\kappa \times 1000}{\mathrm{C}} \\ & \frac{\kappa_{\mathrm{c}}}{\kappa_{\mathrm{d}}}=\frac{\left(\lambda_{\mathrm{m}} \cdot \mathrm{C}\right)}{\left(\lambda_{\mathrm{m}} \cdot C\right)_{\mathrm{d}}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{d}}}{R_{\mathrm{c}}} \quad \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{c}=\text { concentrated sol. } . \\ \mathrm{d}=\text { diluted solution } \end{array} \\ & \frac{100 \cdot(0.15)^2}{150 .(0.1)^2}=\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{d}}}{100} \\ & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{d}}=150 \Omega \end{aligned}$$
