Molar conductivity ⋀ m   of aqueous solution of sodium stearate, which behaves as a strong electrolyte, is recorded at varying concentration(c) of sodium stearate. Which one of the following plots provides the correct representation of micelle formation in the solution? (Critical micelle concentration (CMC) is marked with an arrow in the figures.)
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
With increase in concentration of sodium stearate λ M decreases, but at CNC, formation of miceller take place and the λ M decrease abruptly, this change in λ M with respect to c is represented by plot.
