a) State Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions. Write an expression for the molar conductivity of acetic acid at infinite dilution according to Kohlrausch law.
b) Calculate (CHCOOH), given that (HCl) = 426 S cm mol, (NaCl) = 126 S cm mol, (CHCOONa) = 91 S cm mol.
b) Calculate (CHCOOH), given that (HCl) = 426 S cm mol, (NaCl) = 126 S cm mol, (CHCOONa) = 91 S cm mol.
Answer: (a) Λ°_m(CH₃COOH) = λ°(H⁺) + λ°(CH₃COO⁻). (b) Λ°_m = 391 S cm² mol⁻¹
Solution
(a) Kohlrausch law: at infinite dilution, each ion makes its own independent contribution to the molar conductivity of the electrolyte, whatever the co-ion.
For acetic acid:
(b) Combining:
