Question

Specific conductance is expressed in terms of __________

(a) Ohm/cm

(b) Ohm.cm

(c) Ohm^-1 cm^-1

(d) Ohm^-1 cm

The question was posed to me in examination.

The question is from Electro Chemical Cells topic in chapter Electro Chemical Cells and Corrosion of Applied Chemistry

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) Ohm^-1 cm^-1

For explanation I would say: Specific conductance is expressed in terms of ohm-1 cm-1 As we know that k=l/S * 1/S = cm/[(cm)^2 * ohm] =Ohm^-1 cm^-1.
