The correct Answer is:
To find the limiting molar conductivity of acetic acid (CH₃COOH), we can use Kohlrausch's law, which states that the limiting molar conductivity of a compound can be expressed in terms of the limiting molar conductivities of its constituent ions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the ions in acetic acid**: Acetic acid dissociates into acetate ions (CH₃COO⁻) and hydrogen ions (H⁺) in solution: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{COO}^- + \text{H}^+ \] 2. **Use Kohlrausch's law**: According to Kohlrausch's law, the limiting molar conductivity (Λ₀) of acetic acid can be expressed as: \[ \Lambda_0(\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}) = \Lambda_0(\text{CH}_3\text{COO}^-) + \Lambda_0(\text{H}^+) \] where: - \(\Lambda_0(\text{CH}_3\text{COO}^-)\) is the limiting molar conductivity of the acetate ion. - \(\Lambda_0(\text{H}^+)\) is the limiting molar conductivity of the hydrogen ion. 3. **Account for the ions from sodium acetate and HCl**: To find the limiting molar conductivity of acetic acid, we can use the conductivities of sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), and subtract the conductivity of sodium chloride (NaCl) to eliminate the extra ions: \[ \Lambda_0(\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}) = \Lambda_0(\text{CH}_3\text{COONa}) + \Lambda_0(\text{HCl}) - \Lambda_0(\text{NaCl}) \] 4. **Identify the components**: - \(\Lambda_0(\text{CH}_3\text{COONa})\) provides the acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻) and sodium ion (Na⁺). - \(\Lambda_0(\text{HCl})\) provides the hydrogen ion (H⁺) and chloride ion (Cl⁻). - \(\Lambda_0(\text{NaCl})\) provides sodium ion (Na⁺) and chloride ion (Cl⁻). 5. **Simplify the equation**: By substituting the values, we can see that the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions cancel out, leaving us with: \[ \Lambda_0(\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}) = \Lambda_0(\text{CH}_3\text{COO}^-) + \Lambda_0(\text{H}^+) \] 6. **Select the correct option**: From the options provided, the one that corresponds to the equation derived above is: \[ \text{Option 2: } \Lambda_0(\text{CH}_3\text{COONa}) + \Lambda_0(\text{HCl}) - \Lambda_0(\text{NaCl}) \] Thus, the correct answer is option number 2. ### Final Answer: The limiting molar conductivity of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is given by option number 2. ---
