Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Two plates of a conductivity cell each have an area of . They are apart. The cell is filled with a solution and reads a resistance of . Find the cell constant in , and the conductivity of the solution in and in .
The cell constant is , in . The conductivity is , in , and . A cell is calibrated with potassium chloride: . A solution of potassium chloride has at .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Given. , and .
Step 1. The cell constant. . One is , so .
Step 2. The conductivity. .
Step 3. In S/cm. .
Check. Using the cell constant in gives , the same answer.
Answer: , and .
