Q69 · CSIR-NET Chemistry, June 2012

Paper: CSIR-NET June 2012 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Electrochemistry · Topic: Electrochemistry – General · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium

The molar conductivities at infinite dilution $\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^{0}$ for $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}, \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}, \mathrm{KCl}, \mathrm{HCl}$ and HCOONa at 300 K are 260, 308, 150, 426 and $105\,\mathrm{S\,cm^{-1}\,mol^{-2}}$ respectively. Hence $\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^{0}$ for formic acid in the same unit and at the same temperature is
(a)381
(b)405
(c)429
(d)531
Answer
Answer: B ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
Λ°(NaCl) = ½(260) − ½(308) + 150 = 126; Λ°(HCOOH) = 105 + 426 − 126 = 405.
