At 298 K298 \mathrm{~K}, the limiting molar conductivity of a weak monobasic acid is 4×102 S cm2 mol−14 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{2} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}. At 298 K298 \mathrm{~K}, for an aqueous solution of the acid the degree of dissociation is α\boldsymbol{\alpha} and the molar conductivity is y×102 S cm2 mol−1\mathbf{y} \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{2} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}. At 298 K298 \mathrm{~K}, upon 20 times dilution with water, the molar conductivity of the solution becomes 3y×102 S cm2 mol−13 \mathbf{y} \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{2} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}
The value of yy is _________ .

Step-by-step solution

α=λmλm∘\alpha = {\lambda}_{m}{\lambda}_{m}^{∘}

α1=y×10+24×102=y4...(1){\alpha}_{1} = \dfrac{y \times {10}^{+ 2}}{4 \times {10}^{2}} = \dfrac{y}{4} . . . \left(1\right)

ka=C1α121−α1...(2){k}_{a} = \dfrac{{C}_{1}{\alpha}_{1}^{2}}{1 - {\alpha}_{1}} . . . \left(2\right)

After dilution

α2=3y×1024×102=3y4...(3){\alpha}_{2} = \dfrac{3y \times {10}^{2}}{4 \times {10}^{2}} = \dfrac{3y}{4} . . . \left(3\right)

ka=C2α221−α2...(4){k}_{a} = \dfrac{{C}_{2}{\alpha}_{2}^{2}}{1 - {\alpha}_{2}} . . . \left(4\right)

eq. \left(1\right) / \left(3\right)</p><p></p><p>⇒ \dfrac{{\alpha}_{1}}{{\alpha}_{2}} = \dfrac{1}{3}</p><p>eq(2)/(4)</p><p>eq \left(2\right) / \left(4\right)

⇒1=C1α12(1−α2)(1−α1)C2α22⇒ 1 = \dfrac{{C}_{1}{\alpha}_{1}^{2}\left(1 - {\alpha}_{2}\right)}{\left(1 - {\alpha}_{1}\right){C}_{2}{\alpha}_{2}^{2}}

α12(1−α2)α22(1−α1)=C2C1\dfrac{{\alpha}_{1}^{2}\left(1 - {\alpha}_{2}\right)}{{\alpha}_{2}^{2}\left(1 - {\alpha}_{1}\right)} = \dfrac{{C}_{2}}{{C}_{1}}

C1=C220y{C}_{1} = {C}_{2}20y

12=C2C1\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{{C}_{2}}{{C}_{1}}

α12(1−α2)α22(1−α1)=120\dfrac{{\alpha}_{1}^{2}\left(1 - {\alpha}_{2}\right)}{{\alpha}_{2}^{2}\left(1 - {\alpha}_{1}\right)} = \dfrac{1}{20}

20α12(1−α1)=α22(1−α2)\dfrac{20{\alpha}_{1}^{2}}{\left(1 - {\alpha}_{1}\right)} = {\alpha}_{2}^{2}\left(1 - {\alpha}_{2}\right)

20(1−α1)=9(1−3α1)\dfrac{20}{\left(1 - {\alpha}_{1}\right)} = \dfrac{9}{\left(1 - 3{\alpha}_{1}\right)}

20−60α1=9−9α120 - 60{\alpha}_{1} = 9 - 9{\alpha}_{1}

11=51α111 = 51{\alpha}_{1}

α1=1151=0.22{\alpha}_{1} = \dfrac{11}{51} = 0.22

y=4α1=4×1151=0.86y = 4{\alpha}_{1} = 4 \times \dfrac{11}{51} = 0 .86
