The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equivalent conductance at infinite dilution (Λ₀) of a weak electrolyte given its ionization constant (Kₐ) and the equivalent conductance of its 0.01 M solution (Λ). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Ionization constant, Kₐ = 2.5 × 10^(-7) - Concentration, c = 0.01 M - Equivalent conductance at 0.01 M, Λ = 19.65 S cm² eq^(-1) 2. **Use the relation from Ostwald's dilution law**: - For a weak electrolyte, the ionization constant Kₐ can be expressed as: \[ K_a = c \cdot \alpha^2 \] where α is the degree of ionization. 3. **Rearranging the formula to find α**: - We can rearrange the equation to solve for α: \[ \alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_a}{c}} \] 4. **Substituting the values**: - Substitute Kₐ and c into the equation: \[ \alpha = \sqrt{\frac{2.5 \times 10^{-7}}{0.01}} = \sqrt{2.5 \times 10^{-5}} = \sqrt{25 \times 10^{-6}} = 5 \times 10^{-3} \] 5. **Relate α to equivalent conductance**: - The degree of ionization α is also related to the equivalent conductance at a given concentration (Λ) and the equivalent conductance at infinite dilution (Λ₀): \[ \alpha = \frac{\Lambda}{\Lambda_0} \] 6. **Rearranging to find Λ₀**: - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \Lambda_0 = \frac{\Lambda}{\alpha} \] 7. **Substituting the known values**: - Substitute Λ and α into the equation: \[ \Lambda_0 = \frac{19.65}{5 \times 10^{-3}} = 19.65 \times 10^3 = 3930 \, \text{S cm}^2 \text{eq}^{-1} \] 8. **Final result**: - Therefore, the equivalent conductance at infinite dilution (Λ₀) is: \[ \Lambda_0 = 3930 \, \text{S cm}^2 \text{eq}^{-1} \]
