Chemistry Question on Conductance
The molar conductivities of NaOH,NaCl and BaCl2 at infinite dilution are 2.481×10−2Sm2mol−1,1.265×10−2Sm2mol−1 and 2.800×10−2Sm2mol−1 respectively. The molar conductivity of Ba(OH)2 at infinite dilution will be
A
\ce5.232×10−2Sm2mol−1
B
\ce9.654×10−2Sm2mol−1
C
\ce4.016×10−2Sm2mol−1
D
\ce1.145×10−2Sm2mol−1
Answer
\ce5.232×10−2Sm2mol−1
Explanation
Solution
⋀m∘[Ba(OH)2]
=⋀m∘(BaCl2)+2⋀m∘(NaOH)−2⋀m∘(NaCl)
= (2.8+2×2.481−2×1.265)×10−2Sm2mo1−1
= (2.8+4.962−2.53)×10−2Sm2mol−1
= 5.232×10−2Sm2mol−1
