KCl is used for calibration of conductivity meter because it is very stable.
EXPLANATION:
- KCl or potassium chloride is product of reaction between a strong acid and a strong base, so it is strongly bonded because of high electropositive nature of potassium and high electronegative nature of chlorine.
- Also, it is stable because both potassium and chlorine ions are large ions and they are similar in size so it’s easy to be bonded, which is not true for sodium and chlorine because of the smaller size of sodium.
- Potassium chloride is even accepted as an international component for the calibration of conductivity meter.
