Chemistry - Electrochemistry Question with Solution | TestHub

The cell constant is given by the product of conductivity and resistance.

Cell constant $=k\times R$

Given:
Conductivity, $k=1.70\times 10^{-4}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{cm}}^{-1}$
Resistance, $R=100\Omega$

Substituting the values:
Cell constant $=1.70\times 10^{-4}\times 100$

Cell constant $=1.70\times 10^{-2}{\mathrm{cm}}^{-1}=0.017{\mathrm{cm}}^{-1}$

Answer: $0.017{\mathrm{cm}}^{-1}$
