(b) (1) Weak acid with strong base: CH3COOH with NaOH

(i) Weak acid (CH3COOH) has low conductance than its salt (CH3COONa). Due to its lower dissociation w.r.t. salt. So, addition of base increase conductance (region ab in graph)

 

(ii) The reson for initial decrease in conductance (region (Oa)) is because small addition of base leads to common anion i.e. CH3COO ion formation which represses the dissociation of CH3COOH which gives highly conducting H+ ions. (iii) After the end point there is higher rate of increases in conductance because Na+ + OH has higher conductance than Na+ + CH3COO(region bc in graph).

(2) Weak acid with weak base: CH3COOH + NH4OH →CH3COO- + NH4+ + H2O
(i) Weak acid (CH3COOH) has low conductance than its salt (CH3COONa). Due to its lower dissociation w.r.t. salt. So, addition of base increase conductance (region ab in graph). (ii) The reason for initial decrease in conductance (region(Oa)) is because small addition of base leads to common anion i.e. CH3COO ion formation which represses the dissociation of CH3COOH which gives highly conducting H+ ions.

(iii) The region b´c´ of graph is due to weak nature of base. So, conductance remains almost constant with the addition of weak base after end point.
