JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 2. Electrochemistry

Consider the following data.
Electrolyte\(\Lambda^{\circ}_m\) (S cm\(^2\) mol\(^{-1}\))
\(\text{BaCl}_2\)\(x_1\)
\(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\)\(x_2\)
HCl\(x_3\)

\(\text{BaSO}_4\) is sparingly soluble in water. If the conductivity of the saturated \(\text{BaSO}_4\) solution is \(x\) S cm\(^{-1}\) then the solubility product of \(\text{BaSO}_4\) can be given as (Here \(\Lambda_m = \Lambda^{\circ}_m\))

  1. A \(\dfrac{10^6 x^2}{\alpha^2(x_1 + x_2 - 2x_3)^2}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{x^2}{(x_1 + x_2 - 2x_3)^2}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{\alpha^2(x_1 + x_2 - 2x_3)^2}{10^6 x^2}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{x^2}{(x_1 + x_2 + 2x_3)^2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\dfrac{10^6 x^2}{\alpha^2(x_1 + x_2 - 2x_3)^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions, the limiting molar conductivity of \(\text{BaSO}_4\) is given by: \(\Lambda^{\circ}_m(\text{BaSO}_4) = \Lambda^{\circ}_m(\text{BaCl}_2) + \Lambda^{\circ}_m(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4) - 2\Lambda^{\circ}_m(\text{HCl})\)…
