5.55g of CaClX2 (molar mass 111gmol−1) is dissolved in water to make 1.00L of solution. The conductivity of this solution is 1.02×10−2Scm−1. The equivalent conductivity of the solution, in Scm2eq−1, is
A102
B204
C51
D408
Answer: A
Molarity c=5.55/111=0.0500M. CaClX2 has n-factor 2, so normality N=2×0.0500=0.100N. Λeq=N1000κ=0.1001000×1.02×10−2=102Scm2eq−1. Using molarity instead gives the molar conductivity 204.
