Only One Option Correct Type
Direction (Q. Nos. 1-19) This section contains 19 multiple choice questions. Each question has four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONLY ONE is correct.
Q.
The correct expression in SI system relating the equivalent conductance 
specific conductance (K) and equivalent concentration (C) is (Given k in S cm-1, C in equivalent dm-3)
specific conductance (K) and equivalent concentration (C) is (Given k in S cm-1, C in equivalent dm-3)
Conductivity (K) of 0.01 M NaCI solution is 0.00145 Scm-1. What happens to the conductivity if extra 100 mL of H2O be added to the above solution?
On dilution, molarity decreases and molar conductance increases, Hence, specific conductance decreases.
An increase in equivalent conductance of a strong electrolyte with dilution is mainly due to
Number of ions remains constant but due to dilution, ionic mobility increases (as ionic attraction decreases). Hence, equivalent conductance increases.
Specific conductance of 0.01 N KCI solution is x Scm-1 having conductance y S. Thus, specific conductance of 0.01 N NaCI having conductance zS is (in S cm-1)
Specific conductance = Conductance x Cell constant
∴ x = k (0.01 N KCI) = y x cell constant
∴ k (0.01N NaCI) = z x cell constant
In terms of 
(molar conductance),
(molar conductance of very dilute solution) ionisation constant (Ka) of weak acid is
For a weak acid.
Given limiting ionic conductance of H+ ion : 
= 350 S cm2 equi-1 and of 
ion : 
= 80 S cm2 equi-1 Thus for H2SO4, limiting values of molar conductance and equivalent conductance are
Since, equivalent mass of H2SO4 = 1/2 molar mass
Hence,
= 430 x 2 = 860 S cm2 mol-1
500 mL of an aqueous solution contains 0.1 mole of KCl. If its specific conductance is x Scm-1, its molar conductance will be (in Scm2 mol-1)
Molar conductance
Resistivity of a metal is equal to resistance when cell is constant is
Resistance = (Resistivity) x Cell constant
∴ Resistance = Resistivity
when cell constant = 1cm-1
Which quantity is temperature independent?
When temperature increases, conductance increases. Thus, resistivity and conductivity both are temperature dependent. By Nernst equation,
Thus, Emf of the cell is dependent on temperature.
Thus, cell constant is temperature independent.
0.1 M H2SO4 solution is diluted to 0.01 M H2SO4 ?.Hence its molar conductivity will be
If solution is diluted to x times then new molarity will be
Then new molar conductance will be
∴ New molar conductance will be 10 times.
Conductivity (Siemen's S) is directly proportional to the area of the vessel and the concentration of the solution in it, and is inversely proportional to the length of the vessel,then constant of proportionality is expressed in
S 
concentration in mol dm-3
or S mol m-3
S area (m2)
∴ 
S = k (Specific conductivity) mol m-2
∴ k = Sm2 mol-1
Given,
(Scm2 mol-1)for different electrolytes
Thus, of CH3COOH is
(CH3COOH) = (CH3COONa) + (HCI) - (NaCI)
= 91.0+ 426.2 -126.5
= 517.2 - 126.5
= 390.7 Scm2mol-1
Resistance of 0.2 M soluton of an electrolyte is 50?. The specific conductance of solution is 1.3 Sm-1. If resistance of the 0.4 M solution of the same electrolyte is 260Ω, its molar conductivity is
[AlEEE 2011]
Specific conductance (k) of 0.2 M solution
= Conductance x Cell constant
Specific conductance of 0.4M solution 
The equivalent conductance of NaCl at concentration C and at infinite dilution are λc and λ∞ respectively.The correct relationship λc and λ∞ between is given as (where constanr B is positive).
By Debye-Huckel Onsager equation
when, λC = equivalent conductivity at concentration C and λ∞ = limiting equivalent conductivity at infinite dilution
Limit C → 0. λC = λ∞
At 298 K, given specific conductance of saturated
AgCl solution=3.41 x 10-6 Ω-1 cm-1 and that of water used =1.60 x 10-6 Ω-1 cm-1.
Equivalent conductance of saturated AgCl solution= 138.3 Ω-1 cm2 equiv-1
Thus, solubility product (KSp) of AgCl is
Water has also conductance, hence to obtain pure value of conductance of AgCI, conductance of water should be substracted from the conductance of AgCI given.
Pure specific conductance of AgCI = (3.41 x 10-6 - 1.60 x 10-6)
= 1.81 x 10-6Ω -1cm-1
AgCI is sparingly soluble, hence its solubility may be taken its concentration.
Also, 
in saturated solution sparingly soluble salt
∴
∴ AgCl (s) 
Ag+ + Cl-
∴ Ksp = [Ag+] [Cl-] = S2
= (1.31 x 10-5)2
= 1.72 x 10-10 mol2L-2
AgNO3 (aq) was added to an aq. KCl solution gradually and the conductivity of the solution was measured.the plot of conductance 
vs the volume of AgNO3 is
[IIT JEE 2011]
When AgNO3 is added to KCI solution, in soluble AgCI(s) is formed. Thus, conductance a remains constant. After KCI has been completely precipitated as AgCI, further addition of AgNO3 causes increases in conductance.
Resistance of 0.2 M solution of an electrolyte is 50Ω.The specific conductance of this solution is 1.4 Sm-1. The resistance 0.5 M solution of the same electrolyte is 280Ω. The molar conductivity of 0.5 solution of the electrolyte in Sm2mol-1 is
[JEE Main 2014]
Specific conductance (0.2 M) = Conductance x Cell constant
Specific conductance (0.5M)
= Conductance x Cell constant
k = 0.25 S m-1
= 5 x 10-4 Sm2 mol-1
Note 1 mol L-1 = 1 mol dm-3 = 103 mol m-3
One or More than One Options Correct Type
This section contains 5 multiple type questions. Each question has 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONE or MORE THAN ONE are correct.
Q.
Equivalent conductance of 0.01 N CaCl2 solution is 126.36 S cm2 equiv-1. This is equal to
The correct answer is Option B and C.
Equiv. conductance= 126.36×10-4 Scm2/eq.
If we convert the unit Scm2/eq.into Sm2/eq.
we get (126.36×10-4 Sm2/eq.)
which is equal to (252.72×10-4 Sm2/mol)
[since n factor for CaCl2 is 2]
Degree of dissociation of very pure water is 1.9 x 10-9. Also limiting molar conductance of λ0(H+) = 350 Scm2 equiv-1 , λ0(OH+) = 200 Scm2 equiv-1
Thus,equivalent conductance of water is
= (350 + 200) Scm2 equiv-1
= 550 Scm2equiv-1
= 1.045 x 10-10 Sm2 equiv-1
For strong electrolyte, variation in graph is uniform, hence 
can be extrapolated to 
In case of weak electrolyte, variation of 
is rapid in lower concentration range (higher dilution), hence graph is not uniform and 
cannot be obtained by extrapolation to
Thus, (b) is incorrect.
Thus, correct based on Kohlrausch’s law.
Thus, it is also correct based on Kohlrausch's law.
Matching List Type
Choices for the correct combination of elements from Column I and Column II are given as options (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which one is correct
Q.
An aqueous solution of X is added slowly to an aqueous solution of Y as Shown in column I.The variation in conductivity of these reactions is given in Column II.Match Column I with Column II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists.
(i) X and V both are weak electrolytes, hence have minimum conductance. When X [(C2H5)3N] is added to y (CH3COOH), ions are formed hence conductance increases.
After complete reaction further addition of Y ,makes no change in conductance.
Thus, (i) → (r)
(ii) Net reaction is
where X(I-) is added to Y(Ag+) insoluble Agl is formed. Hence, there is no change in conductance. After complete reaction of Ag+, further addition of I- causes increase in conductance.
Thus, (ii) → (s)
(iii) KOH is a strong electrolyte. As CH3COOH (X) is added, OH- is neutralised by CH3COOH.
CH3COO- is hydrolysed at the same time.
CH3COO- + H2O → CH3COOH + OH-
But being in small extent, conductance decreases. After complete reaction of KOH, further addition of CH3COOH, (weak) there is no change in conductance.
Thus, (iii) → (q)
(iv) NaOH(X) and HI(Y) both are strong electrolytes, Thus, net reaction is
When (X) is added to (Y), H2O is formed hence conductance decreases. After complete reaction of OH-, further addition of NaOH (X), causes increases in conductance.
Thus, (iv) → (p)
Limiting equivalent conductance (in S cm2 equiv-1) of a weak monobasic acid (HA) at infinite dilution is 100 and that of its 0.01 M solution is 5 at 298K.Match the parameters given in Column I with their values in Column II and select the answer from the codes given.
∴ [A-] = Cx, x = degree of ionisation
[A-] = Cx = 0.01 x 0.05 = 5 x 10-4 M
[H+] = Cx = 5 x 10-4 M
pH = - log [H+]
= 4.log 5 = 3.3
By Ostwald's dilution law
