For which electrolyte the molar conductivity at infinite dilution can not be obtained graphically?

  1. A \(\mathrm{HNO}_3\)
  2. B \(\quad \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\)
  4. D KCl
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The molar conductivity of weak electrolyte like \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\) does not vary linearly with square root of concentration as shown in the figure. As a result, \(\Lambda_0\) cannot be determined by extrapolation method graphically unlike strong electrolytes.
