Molar conductivity of a weak acid HQ of concentration 0.18 M was found to be 1/30 of the molar conductivity of another weak acid HZ with concentration of 0.02 of M. If \(\lambda_{Q^{-}}^0\) a happened to be equal with, \(\lambda_{Z^{-}}^0\), then the difference of the \(pK _{ a }\) values of the two weak acids \(\left( pK _{ a }( HQ )- pK _{ a }( HZ )\right)\) is ________ (Nearest integer).
[Given: degree of dissociation (\(\alpha\)) << 1 for both weak acids, λº: limiting molar conductivity of ions]

  1. A 2
  2. B 1
  3. C 3
  4. D 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(K _{ a }( HQ )= C _1 \alpha_1^2 \quad\alpha_1=\frac{\lambda_{ m }( HQ )}{\lambda_{ m }^{\infty}( HQ )}\) \(K _{ a }( HZ )= C _2 \alpha_2^2 \quad \alpha_2=\frac{\lambda_{ m }( HZ )}{\lambda_{ m }^{\infty}( HZ )}\)…
