Q.

If the molar conductivity (Λm) of a 0.050 mol L-1 solution of a monobasic weak acid is 90 S cm2 mol-1, its extent (degree) of dissociation will be

[Assume Λ+=349.6 S cm2 mol-1 and Λ-=50.4 S cm2 mol-1]                   [2025]

1 0.225  
2 0.215  
3 0.115  
4 0.125  

Ans.

(1)

Given: Concentration of solution = 0.050 mol L-1

Λm=90 S cm2 mol-1

Λmo=Λ+o+Λ-o

=349.6+50.4=400 S cm2 mol-1

α=ΛmΛmo=90400=0.225
