The resistance of a conductivity cell filled with 0.1 mol L-1 KCl solution is 100 . If the resistance of the same cell when filled with 0.02 mol L-1 KCl solution is 520 , calculate the conductivity and molar conductivity of 0.02 mol L-1 KCl solution. The conductivity of 0.1 mol L-1 KCl solution is 1.29x 10-2 -1cm-1

What are isotonic solutions?
Isotonic solutions are those solutions that have the same osmotic pressure at a given temperature. An isotonic solution refers to two solutions having the same osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane. For example, 0.9% sodium chloride, commonly called the normal saline Normal saline solution contains 0.9% sodium chloride and is primarily used as the intravenous fluid in medical settings.
