Why on dilution the Λ m of CH 3 COOH increases drastically, while that of CH 3 COONa increases gradually?
Options
- ACH 3 COOH has more ions than CH 3 COONa.
- BIn the case of CH 3 COOH, which is a weak electrolyte, the number of ions increase on dilution due to an incre
- CCH 3 COOH undergoes complete ionization upon dilution.
- DCH 3 COONa has a higher initial molar conductivity than CH 3 COOH.
Correct answer
B. In the case of CH 3 COOH, which is a weak electrolyte, the number of ions increase on dilution due to an incre
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) In the case of CH 3 COOH, which is a weak electrolyte, the number of ions increase on dilution due to an increase in degree of dissociation.In the case of strong electrolyte the number of ions remains the same but the interionic attraction decreases
