Specific conductance is defined as the reciprocal of resistance in ohms of 1c.c. of liquid at a specified temperature. Its value for distilled water is about ______________ micro mho/cm3?

Correct answer: D. 1

  • A. 50
  • B. 100
  • C. 10
  • D. 1

Explanation

Distilled water has very low ionic content, so its conductivity is only about 1 micromho/cm at ordinary temperature. The stated unit should technically be micromho/cm, not micromho/cm³.
