`wedge_(CH_(3)COONa^(@) = 91.0Scm^(2)//equ iv` , `wedge_HCl^(@)= 426.25cm^(2)//equiv`
What additional information/quantity one needs to calculate `overset(o)(wedge)` of an aqueous solution of acetic acid?

A

`overset(o)(wedge)` of NaC1

B

`3 overset(o)(wedge)` of `CH_(3)COOK`

C

AI Generated Solution

To find the equivalent conductance of acetic acid (\( \overset{o}{\lambda} \) of CH₃COOH) at infinite dilution, we can use Kohlrausch's law, which states that the equivalent conductance of a weak electrolyte can be calculated using the equivalent conductances of its ions and the equivalent conductance of a strong electrolyte that dissociates completely. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Data**: - The equivalent conductance of sodium acetate (\( \text{CH}_3\text{COONa} \)) at infinite dilution is \( \overset{o}{\lambda}_{\text{CH}_3\text{COONa}} = 91.0 \, \text{S cm}^2/\text{equiv} \). - The equivalent conductance of hydrochloric acid (\( \text{HCl} \)) at infinite dilution is \( \overset{o}{\lambda}_{\text{HCl}} = 426.25 \, \text{S cm}^2/\text{equiv} \). ...
