The correct Answer is:
To calculate the equivalent conductivity of \( \text{MgCl}_2 \) at infinite dilution, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the components of \( \text{MgCl}_2 \) The dissociation of \( \text{MgCl}_2 \) in water can be represented as: \[ \text{MgCl}_2 \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2+} + 2 \text{Cl}^- \] This means that for every mole of \( \text{MgCl}_2 \), we get 1 mole of \( \text{Mg}^{2+} \) ions and 2 moles of \( \text{Cl}^- \) ions. ### Step 2: Write the formula for equivalent conductivity The equivalent conductivity \( \Lambda_{\text{eq}}^{\infty} \) at infinite dilution can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Lambda_{\text{eq}}^{\infty} = \frac{\Lambda^{\infty}(\text{Mg}^{2+}) + 2 \Lambda^{\infty}(\text{Cl}^-)}{Z} \] where \( Z \) is the total number of moles of ions produced from one mole of \( \text{MgCl}_2 \). ### Step 3: Identify the values given From the problem, we have: - \( \Lambda^{\infty}(\text{Mg}^{2+}) = 106.12 \, \text{ohm}^{-1} \text{cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \) - \( \Lambda^{\infty}(\text{Cl}^-) = 76.34 \, \text{ohm}^{-1} \text{cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \) ### Step 4: Calculate the total conductivity Substituting the values into the formula: \[ \Lambda_{\text{eq}}^{\infty} = 106.12 + 2 \times 76.34 \] Calculating \( 2 \times 76.34 \): \[ 2 \times 76.34 = 152.68 \] Now, add this to \( 106.12 \): \[ \Lambda_{\text{eq}}^{\infty} = 106.12 + 152.68 = 258.80 \, \text{ohm}^{-1} \text{cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \] ### Step 5: Determine the effective number of ions \( Z \) For \( \text{MgCl}_2 \), the total number of ions produced is: \[ Z = 1 + 2 = 3 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the equivalent conductivity Now, we can calculate the equivalent conductivity: \[ \Lambda_{\text{eq}}^{\infty} = \frac{258.80}{3} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \Lambda_{\text{eq}}^{\infty} = 86.27 \, \text{ohm}^{-1} \text{cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \] ### Final Answer The equivalent conductivity of \( \text{MgCl}_2 \) at infinite dilution is: \[ \Lambda_{\text{eq}}^{\infty} = 86.27 \, \text{ohm}^{-1} \text{cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \]

To calculate the equivalent conductivity of \( \text{MgCl}_2 \) at infinite dilution, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the components of \( \text{MgCl}_2 \) The dissociation of \( \text{MgCl}_2 \) in water can be represented as: \[ \text{MgCl}_2 \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2+} + 2 \text{Cl}^- \] This means that for every mole of \( \text{MgCl}_2 \), we get 1 mole of \( \text{Mg}^{2+} \) ions and 2 moles of \( \text{Cl}^- \) ions. ...
