Calculate the molar conductance at infinite dilution of ethanoic acid from the following data:
Λ°m (HCl) = 425.9 s cm2 mol–1
Λ°m (CH3COONa) = 91.0s cm2 mol–1
Λ°m (NaCl) = 126.4 s cm2 mol–1

Λ°m (CH3COOH) = λ°H+ + λ°CH3coo
= Λ°m(HCl) = λ°m (CH3COONa) – λ°NaCl
= 425.9 + 91.0 –126.4
= 390.5 s cm2 mol–1.

The specific conductance of a saturated solution of AgCl in water is 1.826 x 10–6ohm–1 cm–1 at 25°C. Calculate its solubility in water at 25°C. [Given Λm (Ag+) = 61.92 ohm–1 cm2 mol–1 and Λm (CI ) = 76.34 ohm–1 cm2 mol–1]

Λm (AgCl) = λmm (Ag+) + λm (Cl)
                    =61.92 ohm-1 cm2 mol-1 + 76.34 ohm-1 cm2 mol-1= 138.26 ohm-1 cm2 mol-1

         K = 1.826 × 106 ohm-1 cm2
Solubility (in mol L-1) = K×1000 cm3 L-1Am
                                    = (1.826×10-6 ohm-1)×(1000 cm3 L-1)(138.26 ohm-1 cm2 mol-1) = 1.32 × 10-5 mol L-1.

How long will it take to deposit electrolytically 127 gm of copper on the cathode of a copper voltameter by a current of 50A? Given ECE of copper = 0.0003294 g/c.

We have given that              

 m = 127 gm,  
 I = 50 A
 Z = 0.0003294 g/c
t = ?
By Faraday's first law,                        
m = ZIt

 or                                                 t = mZI = 1270.0003294×50
                                             
t = 77118 sec.

The molar conductivity of KCl solutions at different concentration at 298 K are given below:

C/mol L–1

Λ/s cm2 mol–1

0.000198

0.000309

0.000521

0.000989

148.61

148.29

147.81

147.09

 
Show that a plot between A and C1/2 is a straight line. Determine the values of Λ° and Λ for KCl.

Taking the square root of concentration, we have

C1/2 /(mol L–1)1/2

A/s cm2 mol–1

0.01407

0.01758

0.02283

0.03145

148.61

148.29

147.81

147.09

 




A plot of A(l /-axis) and c1/2 (x-axis) is shown in the fig. It is nearly a straight line. From the intercept (C1/2 = 0) we find that Λ° = 149.8 s cm2 mol–1 and Slope = A = 87.46s cmmol–1/(mol / L–1)1/2.

An electric current of 0.5 ampere was passed through acidulated water for one hour. Calculate the volume of hydrogen at STP produced. 1 coulomb of electricity deposits 0.00001 gm of hydrogen.


We have given that                    
current = 0.5 ampere
weight of H2 (W) = ?
                       
t = 1 hour = 3600 sec,
Z = 0.00001.
 
W = Z x c x t

 = 0.00001 x 0.5 x 3600 g = 0.018 g
2g or H2 at STP occupies  = 22.4 litres
             0.018 g of H2 at STP occupies

22.42×0.018 = 0.2016 litres.
Hence, Volume of H2 produced at STP = 0.2016 litres.
