AIPMT MAINS 2012 Chemistry Kohlrausch's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Molar conductivities (Λ°) at infinite dilution of NaCl, HCl and CH₃COONa are 126.4, 425.9 and 91.0 S cm² mol⁻¹ respectively. Λ° for CH₃COOH will be:

A

425.5 S cm² mol⁻¹

B

180.5 S cm² mol⁻¹

C

290.8 S cm² mol⁻¹

D

390.5 S cm² mol⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions, Λ°_m = Λ°_CH₃COONa + Λ°_HCl - Λ°_NaCl = 91 + 425.9 - 126.4 = 390.5 S cm² mol⁻¹.
