The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equivalent conductance of a 0.1 M NaCl solution using the provided data. Let's go through the steps systematically. ### Step 1: Understand the given data - Resistance of 0.1 M KCl solution (R_KCl) = 300 ohm - Specific conductance of 0.1 M KCl (κ_KCl) = 1.33 × 10^(-2) ohm^(-1) cm^(-1) - Resistance of 0.1 M NaCl solution (R_NaCl) = 400 ohm ### Step 2: Calculate the cell constant (x) The cell constant (x) can be calculated using the specific conductance of KCl and its resistance. Using the formula: \[ κ = C \cdot x \] Where: - κ = specific conductance - C = conductance = \( \frac{1}{R} \) For KCl: \[ C_{KCl} = \frac{1}{R_{KCl}} = \frac{1}{300} \, \text{S} \] Now substituting into the equation: \[ 1.33 \times 10^{-2} = \left(\frac{1}{300}\right) \cdot x \] Rearranging to find x: \[ x = 1.33 \times 10^{-2} \times 300 \] \[ x = 3.99 \approx 4 \, \text{cm}^{-1} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the conductance of 0.1 M NaCl Using the resistance of the NaCl solution: \[ C_{NaCl} = \frac{1}{R_{NaCl}} = \frac{1}{400} \, \text{S} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the specific conductance of NaCl Using the cell constant: \[ κ_{NaCl} = C_{NaCl} \cdot x \] Substituting the values: \[ κ_{NaCl} = \left(\frac{1}{400}\right) \cdot 4 \] \[ κ_{NaCl} = \frac{4}{400} = 0.01 \, \text{ohm}^{-1} \text{cm}^{-1} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the equivalent conductance (λ) The equivalent conductance (λ) can be calculated using the formula: \[ λ = \frac{κ \cdot 1000}{N} \] Where: - N = normality = molarity × n factor - For NaCl, n factor = 1, thus N = 0.1 Substituting the values: \[ λ = \frac{0.01 \cdot 1000}{0.1} \] \[ λ = \frac{10}{0.1} = 100 \, \text{ohm}^{-1} \text{cm}^2/\text{gmeq} \] ### Final Answer The equivalent conductance of the 0.1 M NaCl solution is: \[ \boxed{100 \, \text{ohm}^{-1} \text{cm}^2/\text{gmeq}} \]
