QJEEM07Chcc80: JEE Main 2007 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM07Chcc80 Solution: The equivalent conductances of two strong electrolytes at…

The equivalent conductances of two strong electrolytes at infinite dilution in H2O (where ions move freely through a solution) at 25oC are given below:
∧CH3COONao = 91.0 S cm2/equiv
∧HClo = 426.2 S cm2/equiv
What additional information/quantity one needs to calculate ∧o of an aqueous solution of acetic acid?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A ∧o of chloroacetic acid (C/CH2COOH)
  • B ∧o of NaCl
  • C ∧o of CH3COOK
  • D The limiting equivalent conductance of H+(∧H+o)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

NOTE : According to Kohlrausch's law, molar conductivity of weak electrolyte acetic acid (CH3COOH) can be calculated as follows:

ΛoCH3COOH=(ΛoCH3COONa+ΛoHCl)−ΛoNaCl

∴ Value of ΛoNaCl should also be known

for calculating value of ΛoCH3COOH
