The molar conductivity of 0.8 M BaCl ₂ solution at 25^ C is 220 ⁻¹ cm ^2 mol ⁻¹ . Calculate its conductivity.
Options
- A0.176 ⁻¹ cm ⁻¹
- B0.226 ⁻¹ cm ⁻¹
- C0.252 ⁻¹ cm ⁻¹
- D0.152 ⁻¹ cm ⁻¹
Correct answer
A. 0.176 ⁻¹ cm ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
Molar conductivity is given by the formula: _m = 1000 M where is the conductivity and M is the molarity of the solution. Rearranging the formula to solve for : = _m M 1000 Substituting the given values _m = 220 ⁻¹ cm ^2 mol ⁻¹ and M = 0.8 M : = 220 0.8 1000 = 176 1000 = 0.176 ⁻¹ cm ⁻¹ Answer: 0.176 ⁻¹ cm ⁻¹
