Question

The molar conductance of 0.05 M solution of MgCl2 is 194.5Ω1cm2mol1 at 25C, A cell with electrods having 1.50cm2 surface area and 0.50 cm apart is filled with 0.05 M solution mgCl2. How much current will flow when the potential difference between the electrodes is 5.0 V ?

Solution

Molar conductivity= Specific conductance (K)Concentration of electrolyte(C)
K=m×C=194.5Ω1cm2mol1×0.05molL1
K=9.725Ω1cm2L1 1L=1000cm3;1L1=103cm3
as 1R=KAl A Area of cross-section of cell; l length of electrode cell; R Resistance
1R=9.725Ω1cm2×103cm31.50cm20.50cm=0.029Ω1
R=34.27Ω
as V=IR V Electric potential; I Current
I=VR=5.0V34.27Ω=0.145Ampere
Thus, 0.145Ampere of current is required.
