प्रश्न
In the plot of molar conductivity (∧m) vs square root of concentration (c1/2), following curves are obtained for two electrolytes A and B:
Answer the following:
(i) Predict the nature of electrolytes A and B.
(ii) What happens on extrapolation of ∧m to concentration approaching zero for electrolytes A and B?

उत्तर
(i)
A = Strong electrolyte
B = Weak electrolyte
(ii) On extrapolation of these graphs they cut the Y-axis it means concentration is approaching zero and at that point, we will say infinite dilution of their respective A and B.
When A and B cut on Y-axis then we will say molar conductivity of A and B at infinite dilution.

The following questions are case-based questions. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
| Rahul set up an experiment to find the resistance of aqueous KCl solution for different concentrations at 298 K using a conductivity cell connected to a Wheatstone bridge. He fed the Wheatstone bridge with a.c. power in the audio frequency range 550 to 5000 cycles per second. Once the resistance was calculated from the null point, he also calculated the conductivity K and molar conductivity ∧m and recorded his readings in tabular form. |
