Question
How can you determine limiting molar conductivity, 0 m for strong electrolyte and weak electrolyte?
Advertisements
Solution
For strong electrolyte, plot of m
against c, extrapolated to the y-axis, gives the value of m for
strong electrolyte. For weak electrolyte, intercept is not obtained as o m
cannot be extra apolated to zero conc. hence limiting molar conductivity of weak electrolyte is obtained from that of strong electrolytes. Using Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions.
`λ_m^0(CH_3COOH) = lamda^0CH_3COONa + lamda_{HCl}^circ - lamda_{NaCl}^circ`
`lamda_m^circ(CH_3COOH) = lamda_{CH_3COO-}^circ + lamda_{H^+}^circ`
