NEET Chemistry Electrolytic Cells Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte is the sum of the contributions of its ions.
Reason (R): The limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte is dependent on the stoichiometry of the electrode reaction.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as per Kohlrausch's law, which states the sum of individual ionic contributions gives the limiting molar conductivity. The reason is false because stoichiometry of electrode reactions relates to the amount of electricity required, not molar conductivity.
