Question:

Assertion: For weak electrolyte like acetic acid, it is possible to determine the value of its dissociation constant once we know the Λ°m and Λm at a given concentration c.

Reason: The limiting molar conductivity of CH3COO- is 40.9.

Options:

both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

assertion is true but reason is false.

assertion is false but reason is true.

Correct Answer:

both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

For weak electrolyte like acetic acid, it is possible to determine the value of its dissociation constant once we know the Λ°m and Λm at a given concentration c.

α = \(\frac{Λ_m}{Λ^o}\)
