Q2.8:
The conductivity of 0.20 M solution of KCl at 298 K is \(0.0248 S cm^{-1}\). Calculate its molar conductivity.
Solution :
Step 1: Given Variables & Theoretical Foundation
To calculate the molar conductivity ($\Lambda_m$) of an electrolytic solution, we utilize the relationship between conductivity ($\kappa$) and the concentration of the solution ($c$).
- Concentration ($c$) = $0.20\text{ M} = 0.20\text{ mol L}^{-1}$
- Conductivity ($\kappa$) = $0.0248\text{ S cm}^{-1}$
- Temperature ($T$) = $298\text{ K}$
[By the definition of Molar Conductivity: $\Lambda_m = \frac{\kappa \times 1000}{c}$]
Step 2: Unit Conversion and Dimensional Analysis
The standard unit for molar conductivity is $\text{S cm}^2\text{ mol}^{-1}$. To ensure dimensional consistency, we must express concentration in terms of cubic centimeters ($\text{cm}^3$):
- $1\text{ L} = 1000\text{ cm}^3$
- $0.20\text{ mol L}^{-1} = \frac{0.20\text{ mol}}{1000\text{ cm}^3} = 2.0 \times 10^{-4}\text{ mol cm}^{-3}$
Step 3: Algebraic Calculation
Substituting the given values into the formula:
$\Lambda_m = \frac{\kappa (\text{S cm}^{-1}) \times 1000 (\text{cm}^3\text{ L}^{-1})}{c (\text{mol L}^{-1})}$
$\Lambda_m = \frac{0.0248\text{ S cm}^{-1} \times 1000\text{ cm}^3\text{ L}^{-1}}{0.20\text{ mol L}^{-1}}$
$\Lambda_m = \frac{24.8}{0.20}\text{ S cm}^2\text{ mol}^{-1}$
$\Lambda_m = 124\text{ S cm}^2\text{ mol}^{-1}$
Step 4: Graphical Representation of Molar Conductivity Parameters
The calculation is based on the application of the Arrhenius-type behavior for strong electrolytes, where the molar conductivity is inversely proportional to the concentration of the electrolyte in the solution [Per Kohlrausch’s Law implications for strong electrolytes].
Final Solution: The molar conductivity of the $0.20\text{ M KCl}$ solution is $124\text{ S cm}^2\text{ mol}^{-1}$.
