The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct order of equivalent conductance at infinite dilution for LiCl, NaCl, and KCl, we need to consider the ionic mobility of the cations (Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺) and their sizes. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand Equivalent Conductance Equivalent conductance (Λ) at infinite dilution refers to the ability of ions to conduct electricity when they are completely dissociated in solution. It is influenced by the number of ions present and their mobility. ### Step 2: Analyze Ionic Mobility Ionic mobility is the speed at which an ion moves through a solution under the influence of an electric field. It depends on the size of the ion; smaller ions tend to have higher mobility due to less hindrance from solvent molecules. ### Step 3: Compare the Sizes of Cations The sizes of the cations in the compounds are as follows: - Li⁺ (Lithium ion) - smallest - Na⁺ (Sodium ion) - medium size - K⁺ (Potassium ion) - largest ### Step 4: Relate Size to Mobility Since smaller ions (like Li⁺) are more hydrated, they move slower compared to larger ions (like K⁺). Therefore, the order of ionic mobility from highest to lowest is: 1. K⁺ (highest mobility) 2. Na⁺ (medium mobility) 3. Li⁺ (lowest mobility) ### Step 5: Determine Equivalent Conductance Order Since equivalent conductance is directly related to ionic mobility, we can conclude that: - KCl will have the highest equivalent conductance due to K⁺. - NaCl will have a medium equivalent conductance due to Na⁺. - LiCl will have the lowest equivalent conductance due to Li⁺. ### Final Order Thus, the correct order of equivalent conductance at infinite dilution is: **KCl > NaCl > LiCl** ### Answer The correct order of equivalent conductance at infinite dilution of LiCl, NaCl, and KCl is: **KCl > NaCl > LiCl** (Option B). ---

Conductors allow the passage of electric current through them. Metallic and electrolytic are the two type of conductors. Current carriers in metallic and electrolytic conductors are free electrons and free ions respectively. Specific conductance or consuctivity of the electrolyte solution is given by the following relation : kappa=c xx l/A where, c=1//R is the conductance and l//A is the cell constant. Molar conductance (Lambda_(m)) and equivalence conductance (Lambda_(e)) of an electrolyte solution are calculated using the following similar relations : Lambda_(m)= kappa xx 1000/M Lambda_(e)= kappa xx 1000/N Where, M and N are the molarity and normality of the solution respectively. Molar conductance of strong electrolyte depends on concentration : Lambda_(m)=Lambda_(m)^(@)-b sqrt(c) where, Lambda_(m)^(@)= molar conductance at infinite dilution c= concentration of the solution b= constant The degrees of dissociation of weak electrolytes are calculated as : alpha=Lambda_(m)/Lambda_(m)^(@)=Lambda_(e)/Lambda_(e)^(@) The correct order of equivalent conductances at infinite dilution of LiCl, NaCl and KCl is :
