Solution

The correct option is A 0.219 cm1
Given:
Conductivity, κ =0.146×103 S cm1
Resistance, R =1500 Ω

Conductance, G =1Resistance
Resistance, R=ρlA
where,
ρ is resistivity/specific resistance
l is lemgth of electrolytic cell
A is cross section of cell
Thus,
G=1ρ×Al

The inverse of​ resistivity is called conductivity / specific conductance (κ).​

G=κ×Al

κ=G×lA

la is the cell constant (G) of the cell.


κ=G×G
κ=1R×G
G=κ×R

Cell constant, G=0.146×103 Ω1 cm1×1500 Ω

Cell constant, G=0.219 cm1
