Correct Answer :

Option A

(A) – (I), (B) – (II), (C) – (III), (D) – (IV)

Solution :

The correct option is (A) – (I), (B) – (II), (C) – (III), (D) – (IV).

Let us verify the units for each electrochemical property step-by-step:

(A) Cell constant:
The cell constant (G*) of a conductivity cell is defined as the ratio of the distance between the electrodes (l) to their cross-sectional area (A):

G*=lA


In CGS units, distance is measured in centimeters (cm) and area in square centimeters (cm2). Therefore, the unit is:

cmcm2=cm−1


This matches (A) – (I).

(B) Molar conductance:
Molar conductance (Λm) is related to electrolytic conductivity or specific conductance (κ) and molarity concentration (C) by the formula:

Λm=κC


Using specific conductance in ohm−1cm−1 and concentration in molcm−3, the unit for molar conductance becomes:

ohm−1cm−1molcm−3=ohm−1cm2mol−1


This matches (B) – (II).

(C) Specific conductance:
Specific conductance or conductivity (κ) is the reciprocal of resistivity (ρ):

κ=1ρ=1R×lA


Since resistance R is measured in ohms (Ω) and the cell constant lA in cm−1, the unit is:

ohm−1cm−1


This matches (C) – (III).

(D) Conductance:
Conductance (G) is the reciprocal of electrical resistance (R):

G=1R


Since the unit of resistance is ohm, the unit of conductance is:

ohm−1


This matches (D) – (IV).
