Question

Solutions of two electrolytes ‘A’ and ‘B’ are diluted. The Λm of ‘B’ increases 1.5 times while that of A increases 25 times. Which of the two is a strong electrolyte? Justify your answer.

Short/Brief Note

Solution

Electrolyte ‘B’ is strong as on dilution the number of ions remains the same, only interionic attraction decreases; therefore, the increase in Λm is small.

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.
