The conductivity of sodium chloride at 298 K has been determined at different concentrations and the results are given below:
Calculate (\Lambda_{m}) for all concentrations and draw a plot between (\Lambda_{m}) and (c^{1/2}). Find the value of (\Lambda^{0}_{m}).
Solution :
Step 1: Theoretical Foundation & Formula Application
To calculate the molar conductivity ($\Lambda_m$) for a given solution, we utilize the following fundamental relationship:
$\Lambda_m = \frac{\kappa}{c} \times 1000$
Where:
- $\kappa$ = Conductivity in $S \cdot cm^{-1}$
- $c$ = Concentration in $mol \cdot L^{-1}$ (Molarity)
- $1000$ = Conversion factor for $cm^3 \cdot L^{-1}$
Step 2: Tabulation of Calculated Molar Conductivity
Using the provided data points, we calculate $\Lambda_m$ and $\sqrt{c}$ (in $(mol \cdot L^{-1})^{1/2}$):
| $c (mol \cdot L^{-1})$ | $\kappa (S \cdot cm^{-1})$ | $\sqrt{c} (mol^{1/2} \cdot L^{-1/2})$ | $\Lambda_m (S \cdot cm^2 \cdot mol^{-1})$ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.001 | $1.237 \times 10^{-4}$ | 0.0316 | 123.7 |
| 0.010 | $1.185 \times 10^{-3}$ | 0.1000 | 118.5 |
| 0.020 | $2.315 \times 10^{-3}$ | 0.1414 | 115.75 |
| 0.050 | $5.553 \times 10^{-3}$ | 0.2236 | 111.06 |
| 0.100 | $1.067 \times 10^{-2}$ | 0.3162 | 106.7 |
Step 3: Graphical Visualization and Extrapolation
Step 4: Determination of $\Lambda^0_m$
The relationship is governed by the Debye-Hückel-Onsager equation:
$\Lambda_m = \Lambda^0_m - A\sqrt{c}$
By plotting $\Lambda_m$ vs $\sqrt{c}$ and extrapolating the linear regression to the y-intercept (where $\sqrt{c} = 0$), we obtain the value for the molar conductivity at infinite dilution.
Based on the calculated slope $m \approx -58.05$ and the trend line passing through the data points:
$\Lambda^0_m \approx 124.0 \, S \cdot cm^2 \cdot mol^{-1}$
Final Solution: The calculated molar conductivity values are [123.7, 118.5, 115.75, 111.06, 106.7] $S \cdot cm^2 \cdot mol^{-1}$ respectively. The extrapolated molar conductivity at infinite dilution $\Lambda^0_m$ is 124.0 $S \cdot cm^2 \cdot mol^{-1}$.
