The electrical resistance of a column of 0.05 M NaOH solution of diameter 1 cm and length 50 cm is 5.55 x103ohm. Calculate its resistivity, conductivity and
molar conductivity.
Area of the column with radius (r) 0.5cm (radius =
) is:
A = π×r2 = 3.14(0.5)(0.5) = 0.785cm2.
Length (l) = 50cm and Resistance (R) = 5.55×103Ω
We know, R = ![]()
Or, ρ =
=
= 87.14 Ωcm
Conductivity κ =
=
= 0.01147 Scm-1.
Molarity (M) = 0.05 [M]
We know,
Molar conductivity =
=
= 229.4 S cm2 mol-1.
