The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement regarding the Van't Hoff factor for \(10^{-3} M \, CH_3COOH\) is true or false, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Dissociation of Acetic Acid Acetic acid (\(CH_3COOH\)) dissociates in water as follows: \[ CH_3COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^- + H^+ \] This means that for every mole of acetic acid that dissociates, one mole of acetate ion and one mole of hydrogen ion are produced. ### Step 2: Define the Van't Hoff Factor The Van't Hoff factor (\(i\)) is defined as: \[ i = 1 + \alpha \] where \(\alpha\) is the degree of dissociation of the solute. ### Step 3: Calculate the Degree of Dissociation (\(\alpha\)) The degree of dissociation can be calculated using the formula: \[ \alpha = \frac{\text{Molar conductivity}}{\text{Molar conductivity at infinite dilution}} \] Given: - Molar conductivity (\(\kappa\)) = \(4 \times 10^{-5} \, S \, cm^{-1}\) - Concentration (\(C\)) = \(10^{-3} \, mol \, L^{-1}\) First, we calculate the molar conductivity: \[ \text{Molar conductivity} = \frac{\kappa \times 1000}{C} = \frac{4 \times 10^{-5} \times 1000}{10^{-3}} = 40 \, S \, cm^2 \, mol^{-1} \] ### Step 4: Use the Given Infinite Dilution Value The infinite dilution value is given as \(350 \, S \, cm^2 \, mol^{-1}\). Now, we can calculate \(\alpha\): \[ \alpha = \frac{40}{350} = \frac{4}{35} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Van't Hoff Factor (\(i\)) Now, substituting \(\alpha\) back into the equation for \(i\): \[ i = 1 + \alpha = 1 + \frac{4}{35} = \frac{35}{35} + \frac{4}{35} = \frac{39}{35} \] ### Conclusion The calculated Van't Hoff factor is \(\frac{39}{35}\), which matches the statement given in the question. Therefore, the statement is **True**. ---
