Question:

Plotting \(\frac{1}{Λ_{m}}\) against \(cΛ_{m}\) for aqueous solutions of a monobasic weak acid (HX) resulted in a straight line with y-axis intercept of P and slope of S. The ratio \(\frac{P}{S}\) is 
[\(Λ_{m}\) = molar conductivity, 
\(Λ^{o}_{m}\)= limiting molar conductivity, 
\(c\) = molar concentration, 
\(K_{a}\) = dissociation constant of HX]

  • \(K_a Λ^o_m\)

  • \(K_a \frac{Λ^o_m}{2}\)

  • \(2 K_a Λ^o_m\)

  • \(\frac{1}{(K_a Λ^o_m)}\)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Correct option is (A) Ka Λ°m.

When plotting 1/Λm​ against cΛm​ for aqueous solutions of a monobasic weak acid (HX), a linear relationship is observed, yielding a straight line with a y-axis intercept of P and a slope of S. The ratio P/S can be represented as:

0P/S=Ka​1​+Λm0​

Where:

  • Λm​ is the molar conductivity,
  • Λm0​ is the limiting molar conductivity,
  • c is the molar concentration,
  • Ka​ is the dissociation constant of HX.

Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Organic Chemistry is a subset of chemistry dealing with compounds of carbon. Therefore, we can say that Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds and is 200-225 years old. Carbon forms bond with itself to form long chains of hydrocarbons, e.g.CH4, methane and CH3-CH3 ethane. Carbon has the ability to form carbon-carbon bonds quite elaborately. Polymers like polyethylene is a linear chain where hundreds of CH2 are linked together.

Importance of Organic Chemistry:

Organic chemistry is applicable in a variety of areas including-

  • Medicines: Example- Aspirin which is a headache medicine and Ibuprofen is a painkiller, both are organic compounds. Other examples include paracetamol.
  • Food: Example- Starch which is a carbohydrate is an organic compound and a constituent of rice and other grains. It is the source of energy.
  • Clothing: Example- Nylon, Polyester and Cotton are forms of organic compounds.
  • Fuels: Examples- Gasoline, Petrol and Diesel are organic compounds used in the automobile industry at large.
