The equivalent conductances of two strong electrolytes at infinite dilution in H 2 O (where ions move freely through a solution) at 25 ℃ are given below : Λ CH 3 COONa o = 91.0 S cm 2 / equivalent Λ HCl o = 426.2 S cm 2 / equivalent . What additional information/quantity one needs to calculate Λ o of an aqueous solution of acetic acid?
Options
- AΛ o of chloroacetic acid ClCH 2 COOH
- BΛ o of NaCl
- CΛ o of CH 3 COOK
- DThe limiting equivalent conductance of H + λ H + o
Correct answer
B. Λ o of NaCl
Step-by-step solution
According to Kohlrausch's law, the molar conductivity at infinite dilution Λ o for weak electrolyte, CH 3 COOH is Λ CH 3 COOH o = Λ CH 3 COONa o + Λ HCl o - Λ NaCl o So, for calculating the value of Λ CH 3 COOH o , value of Λ NaCl o should also be known.
