(a) `^^ ^(@)(CH_(3)COOH)=lamda_(H+)^(@)+lamda_(CH_(3)COO^(-))^(@)`
`=349.6+40.9=390.5" S cm"^(2)" mol "^(-1)`
`^^_(m)=(kxx1000)/(c)`
`^^_(m)(8.0xx10^(-5)" S "cm^(-1)L^(-1))/(0.0024" mol "L^(-1))=33.33" S cm"^(2)" mol"^(-1)`
`alpha=(^^_(m))/(^^_(m)^(@))`
`alpha=(33.33" S cm"^(2)" mol"^(-1))/(390.5" S cm"^(2)" mol"^(-1))=0.085`
Electrolyte B is a strong electrolyte.
Limiting molar conductivity increases only to a smaller extent for a dtrong electrolyts, as on dilution the interionic interactions are overcome.
Limiting molar conductivity the degree of dissociation increases, therefore the number of ions in total volume of solution increases.
