Download Solution PDFFor a weak electrolyte such as acetic acid, the relation among conductance (λ), equilibrium constant (K) and concentration (C) can be expressed as: (λ° is the conductance at infinite dilution)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
- For weak acid acetic acid, the dissociation is weak
- If C is the initial concentration of acetic acid and
is the degree of dissociation, the equilibrium constant for the reaction can be expressed as; can be expressed as - Where,
and are the conductances at concentration C and zero. - Putting the values of
in equilibrium constant we get,
Explanation:
- We know,
- Rearranging this we can write
- Multiplying
on both sides we get - Further rearranging this we can get
Conclusion: -
For a weak electrolyte such as acetic acid, the relation among conductance (λ), equilibrium constant (K) and concentration (C) can be expressed as
