SUMMARY

The molar conductivity of the cobalt complex Co(NH3)4CO3]NO3 was calculated using the conductance of a 0.002M solution, yielding a value of 197.1 mΩ^-1·M^-1. The resistance of a 0.02M KCl solution was measured at 2.86 mS, which was used to determine the conductivity constant (k) as 0.00791648 mS/cm·Ω^-1. The final molar conductivity was derived using the formula molar conductivity = 1000L/M, resulting in a precise calculation based on the provided experimental data.

Homework Statement


This was determined from an experiment,where the resistance of 0.02M of KCl was to be determined
[KCl]=0.02M conductance=2.86ms L=0.002768ohm^-1 to obtain k

Co(NH3)4CO3]NO3 :
conductance: 1.923ms concentration of cobalt complex: 0.002M

Homework Equations


k=RL Molar conductivity=1000L/M

The Attempt at a Solution


k=RL k=(2.86ms)(0.002768ohm^-1)
k=0.00791648 ms/cm ohm^-1

L=k/R =0.00791648ms/cm ohm^-1/0.1923ms
L=0.041167cm x ohm^-1
molar conductivity=1000(0.041176)/0.002M
=19712.8cm Xohm^-1 / M x 1m/100cm
=197.1 m x ohm^-1/MNot sure if i did it correctly

It won't hurt if you will name your variables and describe the data you were given.

We could try to guess them from the units and the way you are using them, but - speaking for myself - I have much better brain teasers to play with.
