Question:

The equivalent conductance of silver nitrate solution at 250°C for an infinite dilution was found to be 133.3 ohm–1 cm2eq–1. The transport number of Ag+ ions in very dilute solution of AgNO3 is 0.464. The equivalent conductance of Ag+ at infinite dilution is

Options:

34.6 \(\Omega ^{−1}cm^{−1}eq^{−1}\)

61.9 \(\Omega ^{−1}cm^{−1}eq^{−1}\)

52.7 \(\Omega ^{−1}cm^{−1}eq^{−1}\)

49.2 \(\Omega ^{−1}cm^{−1}eq^{−1}\)

Correct Answer:

61.9 \(\Omega ^{−1}cm^{−1}eq^{−1}\)

Explanation:

Equivalent conductance at infinite dilution for \(AgNO_3\) = \(133 ohm^{−1}cm^2eq^{−1}\)

\(t_{Ag^+} = 0.464\)

∴ \(\lambda _{Ag^+} = 133.3 × 0.464 = 61.85\)
