Options:

A) 0.75

B) 0.25

C) 0.125

D) 0.50

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Given, $ \Lambda _m^{o}NaCl=126.4S,cm^{2}mo{l^{-1}} $

    $ \Lambda _m^{o} HCl=425.9S,cm^{2}mo{l^{-1}} $

    $ \Lambda _m^{{}} NaA=100.5S,cm^{2},mo{l^{-1}} $

    $ \Lambda _m^{o} HA=\Lambda _m^{o}HCl+\Lambda _m^{o}NaA-\Lambda _m^{o}NaCl $

    $ =425.9+100.5-126.4 $ $ =400S,cm^{2}mo{l^{-1}} $ $ \Lambda _m^{{}}\frac{1000K}{C}=5\times {10^{-5}}\times \frac{1000}{0.001}=50 $

    $ \alpha =\frac{\Lambda _m^{{}}}{\Lambda _m^{o}}=\frac{50}{400}=0.125 $
