The conductivity of a weak acid HA of concentration 2.0 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^{{}^{\circ}}(\mathrm{HA})=190 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} is equal to _______ x .
Options
- A24
- B48
- C12
- D45
Correct answer
C. 12
Step-by-step solution
\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}=1000 \times \frac{\mathrm{K}}{\mathrm{M}}=1000 \times \frac{2 \times 10^{-5}}{0.001}=20 \mathrm{ S} \mathrm{ cm}^2 \mathrm{ mol}^{-1}\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}}{\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}^{{}^{\circ}}}=\frac{20}{190}= \left(\frac{2}{19}\right)
\underset{0.001(1-\alpha)}{\mathrm{HA}}\rightleftharpoons \underset{0.001 \alpha}{\mathrm{H}^{+}}+\underset{0.001 \alpha}{\mathrm{A}^{-}}<br />K_{\mathrm{a}}=12.3
\underset{0.001(1-\alpha)}{\mathrm{HA}}\rightleftharpoons \underset{0.001 \alpha}{\mathrm{H}^{+}}+\underset{0.001 \alpha}{\mathrm{A}^{-}}<br />K_{\mathrm{a}}=12.3
