Q.

Given below are two statements :                                      [2025]

Statement I : Mohr’s salt is composed of only three types of ions – ferrous, ammonium and sulphate.

Statement II : If the molar conductance at infinite dilution of ferrous, ammonium and sulphate ions are x1,x2 and x3cm2 mol1, respectively, then the molar conductance for Mohr’s salt solution at infinite dilution would be given by x1+x2+2x3

In the light of the given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

1 Both statements I and Statement II are false.  
2 Statement I is false but Statement II is true.  
3 Statement I is true but Statement II are false.  
4 Both statements I and Statement II are true.  

Ans.

(3)

Statement I

Mohr's salt: FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O

Statement II:

By Kohlrausch law

Λm(Mohr's salt)=λm(Fe2+)+2λm(NH4+)+2λm(SO42-)

                               =x1+2x2+2x3
