NEET Chemistry Electrolytic Cells MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

Calculate the dissociation constant (K) for acetic acid if its conductivity is 7.896 × 10⁻⁵ S cm⁻¹ and concentration is 0.00241 M given that its molar conductivity at infinite dilution is 390.5 S cm² mol⁻¹.

A

75 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹

B

68 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹

C

78 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹

D

80 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula Λm = k/c, the molar conductivity Λm is calculated and then α = Λm/Λm⁰ is used to find the degree of dissociation. The dissociation constant K is computed using K = cα²/(1-α).
