NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Given the conductivity of a 0.001028 mol L⁻¹ acetic acid solution is 4.95 × 10⁻⁵ S cm⁻¹ and its limiting molar conductivity is 390.5 S cm² mol⁻¹, calculate the degree of dissociation (α) of acetic acid in this solution.

A

0.1233

B

0.2500

C

0.0750

D

0.5000

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The degree of dissociation (α) is calculated using α = Λm / Λ°m, where Λm = κ × 1000 / c = 48.15 S cm² mol⁻¹ and Λ°m = 390.5 S cm² mol⁻¹, giving α = 48.15 / 390.5 = 0.1233.
