(B)

(C)

(D)

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 10th April Evening Slot Chemistry - Electrochemistry Question 91 English Option 4

Explanation

Correct answer is A

The graph is drawn using following equation,

Λ m = Λ m b c

As the size of K+ is higher than the size of Na+, then the hydration radii of aqueous Na+ will be more than the aqueous K+. Therefore the ionic mobility of Na+ will be smaller than K+. Hence the conductance of K+ will be higher.

  Λ m of K+ > Λ m of Na+

Λ m (KCl) > Λ m (NaCl)

So, y intercept is more for KCl.

As slope b is constant both the lines will be parallel.

Consider the statements S1 and S2

S1 : Conductivity always increases with decrease in the concentration of electrolyte.

S2 : Molar conductivity always increases with decrease in the concentration of electrolyte.

The correct option among the following is :

(A) Both S1 and S2 are wrong

(B) S1 is correct and S2 is wrong

(C) Both S1 and S2 are correct

(D) S1 is wrong and S2 is correct

Explanation

Correct answer is D

We know conductivity (k) = G V

V = volume

When concentration decreases volume increases and when volume increases then conductivity (k) decreases.

So, we can say S1 is incorrect.

We know that,

λ m = k c

where

λ m = molar conductivity
k = conductivity
c = concentration

So, when concentration decreases molar conductivity increases.

So, we can say S2 is correct.

m for NaCl, HCl and NaA are 126.4, 425.9 and 100.5 S cm2 mol–1, respectively. If the conductivity of 0.001 M HA is-

5 × 10–5 S cm–1, degree of dissociation of HA is -

(A) 0.50

(B) 0.125

(C) 0.25

(D) 0.75

Explanation

Correct answer is B

m (HA) = m (HCl) + m (NaA) m (NaCl)

= 425.9 + 100.5 126.4

= 400 S cm2 . mol 1

     m c = K × 1000 M

= 5 × 10 5 × 1000 10 3

Resistance of 0.2 M solution of an electrolyte is 50 Ω . The specific conductance of the solution is 1.4 S m-1. The resistance of 0.5 M solution of the same electrolyte is 280 Ω . The molar conductivity of 0.5 M solution of the electrolyte in S m2 mol-1 is :

(A) 5 × 103

(B) 5 × 102

(C) 5 × 10-4

(D) 5 × 10-3

Explanation

Correct answer is C

Given for 0.2 M solution

R = 50 Ω

κ = 1.45 S m 1 = 1.4 × 10 2 S c m 1

Now, R = ρ a = 1 κ × a

a = R × κ = 50 × 1.4 × 10 2

For 0.5 M solution

R = 280 Ω ; κ = ?

a = 50 × 1.4 × 10 2

R = ρ a = 1 κ × a

κ = 1 280 × 50 × 1.4 × 10 2

= 1 280 × 70 × 10 2 = 2.5 × 10 3 S c m 1

Now, Λ m = κ × 1000 M = 2.5 × 10 3 × 1000 0.5

= 5 S c m 2 m o l 1 = 5 × 10 4 S m 2 m o l 1

NOTE : According to Kohlrausch's law, molar conductivity of weak electrolyte acetic acid ( C H 3 C O O H ) can be calculated as follows:

Λ o C H 3 C O O H = ( Λ o C H 3 C O O N a + Λ o H C l ) Λ o N a C l

Value of Λ o N a C l should also be known

The molar conductivities N a O A c o and H C l o and at infinite dilution in water at 25oC are 91.0 and 426.2 Scm2/mol respectively. To calculate H O A c o , the additional value required is

A. H 2 O o

B. K C l o

C. N a O H o

D. N a C l o

Correct Answer is Option (D)

Λ C H 3 C O O H o is given by the following equation

Λ C H 3 C O O H o = ( Λ C H 3 C O O N a o + Λ H C l o ) ( Λ N a C l o )

Hence Λ N a C l is required.
