Conductivity of 0.00241 M acetic acid is 7.896xx10^(-5)" S "cm^(-1). Calculate its molar conductivity and if Lamda_(m)^(@) for acetic acid is 390.5 S cm^(-2)mol^(-1), what is its dissociation constant ?

Answer»

Solution :* The CALCULATION of molar conductivity `Lamda_(m)^(c)`:
Where, `M=0.00241" "CH_(3)COOH`,
`Lamda_(m)^(c)=(kxx1000)/("molarity")""k=7.896xx10^(-5)" S "CM^(-1)`
`=(7.896xx10^(-5)(" S "cm^(-1))xx1000(cm^(3)L^(-1)))/(0.00241(mol" "L^(-1)))`
* The calculation of dissociation degree `(alpha)` of `CH_(3)COOH`:
`therefore alpha=(Lamda_(m)^(c))/(Lamda_(m)^(@)),""alpha=(32.763)/(390.5)=0.0839|" Where,"alpha="dissociation degree,"Lamda_(m)^(c)=32.763" S "cm^(2)mol^(-1),""Lamda_(m)^(@)=390.5" S "cm^(2)mol^(-1)`
* The calculation of dissociation constant `(K_(a))`:
The EQUILIBRIUM in acetic acid `(CH_(3)COOH)` solution is as follow:
`CH_(3)COOH_((aq))HARR CH_(3)COO_((aq))^(-)+H_((aq))^(+)`
`therefore K_(a)=(CalphaxxCalpha)/(C-Calpha)=(Calpha^(2))/((1-alpha))`,`=(0.00241xx(0.0839)^(2))/(1-0.0839),""=(0.00241xx0.0839xx0.0839)/(0.9161)|" Where, dissociation degree "alpha=0.0839" Molarity "C=0.00241" mol "L^(-1)`
`=1.8518xx10^(-5)`
2.

Conductivity kappa, equal to _____

Answer»

`(1)/(R)(L)/(A)`
`(G^(**))/(R)`
`Lamda_(m)`
`(l)/(A)`

Solution :* Resistance of any SUBSTANCE is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area.
`R ALPHA(l)/(A)` So, `R=rho(l)/(A)=(l)/(kappaA)`
* Where, `rho` is resistance or specific resistance.
`therefore rho=(RA)/(l)""therefore (1)/(R)=(1)/(rho)XX(A)/(l)`
`(1)/(rho)=kappa""therefore (1)/(R)=kappa((A)/(l))`
`therefore kappa=(1)/(R)=kappa((A)/(l))`. . . (A)
`(l)/(A)=G^(**)""therefore kappa=(G^(**))/(R)` . . . (B)
Where `G^(**)=(l)/(A)`=cell constant, `kappa`=conductivity of solution.

Conductivity of 0.00241 M acetic acid is 7.896 xx 10^(-5) S cm^(-1) . Calculate its molar conductivity. If Lambda_(m)^(@) for acetic acid is 390.5 S cm^(2) mol^(-1).what is its dissociation constant ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Using the following relation and substituting the values, we get 5) S cm^(-1)) xx 1000 cm^(3) L^(-1))/(0.00241 mol L^(-1)) = 32.76 S cm^(2) mol^(-1)`
`alpha = Lambda_(m)^( C)/Lambda_(m)^(@) = (32.76)/(390.5) = 8.4 xx 10^(-2)`
DEGREE of dissociation may be obtained as under:
`K_(a) -(CALPHA^(2))/(1- alpha) = (0.00241 xx (8.4 xx 10^(-2))^(2))/(1-0.084) = 1.86 xx 10^(-5)`

Conductivity of 0.00241 M acetic acid is 7.896 xx 10^(-5) S cm^(-1). Calculate its molar conductivity. If Lambda_(m)^(@)for acetic acid is 390.5 S cm^2 mol^(-1) , what is its dissociation constant?

Answer»

Solution :`k = 7.896 xx 10^(-5) S cm^(-1)`
Molar conductivity can be OBTAINED as under :
`Lambda_(m) = (1000 k)/M = (1000 xx 7.896 xx 10^(-5))/0.00241 = (7.896 xx 10^(3))/241 =7896/241 = = 32.76 S cm^(2) mol^(-1)`
`ALPHA = (Lambda_(m))/(Lambda_(m)^(@)) =32.76/390.5= 0.0832 = 8.38 %`
Use the FOLLOWING relation to calculate DISSOCIATION constant, `K_(a)`
`K_(a) = (Calpha^(2))/(1- alpha) =(0.00241 xx (0.084)^(2))/(1-0.084) = 1.86 xx 10^(-5)`

Concentration terms such as mass percentage, ppm, mole fraction and molality are independent of temperature, however molarity is a function of temperature. Explain.

Answer»

SOLUTION : Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in one LITRE of solution. SINCE volume depends on temperature and UNDERGOES a change with change in temperature, the molarity will change with change in temperature. On the other hand, mass does not change with change in temperature. Mass percentage ppm, MOLE fraction and molality involve only mass and remain unchanged by changing temperature.
41.

Concentration terms such as mass percentage, ppm mole fraction and molality are independent of temperature, however molarity is a function of temperature. Explain.

Answer»

Solution :Molarity of a solution is a weight by VOLUME relationship to represent its strength and defined as .the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of solution.. Since volume depends on temperature and undergoes a change with change in temperature, the molarity will also change with change in temperature. On the other hand, the other concentration terms such as mass percentage, oom, mole fraction and molality are based upon mass by mass relationship of solute and SOLVENT present in a binary solution. Mass does not change with change in temeprature, as a result these concentration terms remain UNCHANGED with variation of temperature. According to the DEFINITION of all these terms, mass of the solvent used for making the solution is related to the mass of solute.
