Write the relation between molar conductivity and molar ionic conductivities for the following electrolytes.
a) KBr
b) Na₂SO4
c) AlCl3
Answers
The limiting molar conductivities of NaCl, KBr and KCl are 126, 152 and 150 Scm2mol−1 respectively.
The limiting molar conductivity Λo for NaBr is calculated by the following expression.
λNaBr∞=λNaCl∞+λKBr∞−λKCl∞
λNaBr∞=126+152−150=128 Scm2mol−1
The relation between molar conductivity and equivalent conductivity is
∧∧.
Explanation:
Molar conductivity:
Molar conductivity is the conductance property of a solution containing one mole of the electrolyte or it is a function of the ionic strength of a solution or the concentration of salt. It is therefore not a constant.
For example, Here the given electrolytes and the relation between molar conductivity and molar ionic conductivities,
(a) :
If ∧ is molar conductivity of an electrolyte at infinite dilution and λ and λ are molar ionic conductivities then,
∧λλ
(b):
∧ λ λ
(C) :
∧ λ λ
