Molar Conductivity of Electrolytes
- Molar conductivity (Λm) is the conductance of all the ions produced by one mole of an electrolyte in a given solution.
- It varies with the concentration of the electrolyte, usually increasing as concentration decreases due to ion-ion interactions.
- For strong electrolytes, molar conductivity increases slightly with dilution because ions are already well dissociated.
- For weak electrolytes, molar conductivity increases significantly with dilution as more ions dissociate.
EXPLANATION:
- The given figure shows the variation of molar conductivity with concentration.
- For strong electrolytes like HCl and NaCl, the increase in molar conductivity with dilution is relatively small.
- For weak electrolytes like CH3COOH (acetic acid), the increase in molar conductivity with dilution is more pronounced due to increased ionization.
- The given figure likely shows a significant increase in molar conductivity with dilution, indicating that the electrolyte X is a weak electrolyte.
- Among the given options, CH3COOH is the weak electrolyte.
Therefore, the electrolyte X is CH3COOH.
