The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify which electrolytes have the same value of \( A \) in the equation for equivalent conductance: \[ \Lambda_m = \Lambda_m^0 - A \sqrt{c} \] where: - \( \Lambda_m \) is the equivalent conductance at concentration \( c \), - \( \Lambda_m^0 \) is the equivalent conductance at infinite dilution, - \( A \) is a constant that depends on the nature of the ions, - \( c \) is the concentration of the electrolyte. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship**: The equation indicates that as the concentration \( c \) of a strong electrolyte decreases (dilution), the equivalent conductance \( \Lambda_m \) increases. The term \( A \sqrt{c} \) represents the decrease in conductance due to the interactions between ions at higher concentrations. 2. **Identifying the Factors Affecting \( A \)**: The value of \( A \) is influenced by the charges of the cations and anions present in the electrolyte. Specifically, it depends on the magnitude of the charge of the ions. 3. **Analyzing Given Electrolytes**: - **NaCl**: Dissociates into \( Na^+ \) and \( Cl^- \) (2 ions total). - **CaCl2**: Dissociates into \( Ca^{2+} \) and \( 2Cl^- \) (3 ions total). - **ZnCl2**: Dissociates into \( Zn^{2+} \) and \( 2Cl^- \) (3 ions total). - **MgSO4**: Dissociates into \( Mg^{2+} \) and \( SO4^{2-} \) (2 ions total). 4. **Comparing the Electrolytes**: - **CaCl2** and **ZnCl2** both produce 3 ions upon dissociation and contain divalent cations (Ca and Zn) with the same charge as well as two monovalent anions (Cl). - **NaCl** and **MgSO4** produce different types of ions compared to the other two. 5. **Conclusion**: Since \( CaCl2 \) and \( ZnCl2 \) have the same number of ions and similar charge characteristics, they will have the same value of \( A \). ### Final Answer: The electrolytes that have the same value of \( A \) are **CaCl2** and **ZnCl2**.
