NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3ec199

The molar conductivity of a solution of a weak monobasic acid is and its limiting molar conductivity is . The degree of dissociation of the acid in this solution is

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Answer: A

For a weak electrolyte (assuming ionic mobilities are unchanged). , i.e. the acid is 2% dissociated. Inverting the ratio gives 50, which is physically impossible for .
