Chemistry Question on Electrochemistry
What will be the molar conductivity of AL3+ ions at infinite dilution if molar conductivity of Al2(SO4)3 is 858Scm2mol−1 and ionic conductance of SO42− is 160Scm2mol−1 at infinite dilution?
A
189Scm2mol−1
B
698Scm2mol−1
C
1018Scm2mol−1
D
429Scm2mol−1
Answer
189Scm2mol−1
Explanation
Solution
ΛAl2(SO4)3∘=2ΛAl3+∘+3ΛSo42−∘ ΛAl3+∘=2ΛAl2∘(SO4)3−3ΛSO42−∘ =2858−(3×160) =189Scm2mol−1
