Q11 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (05 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

Molar ionic conductivities of divalent cation and anion are \(57 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) and \(73 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) respectively. The molar conductivity of solution of an electrolyte with the above cation and anion will be :

  • A
    \(187 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  • B
    \(260 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  • Correct answer
    C
    \(130 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  • D
    \(65 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \Lambda_{\mathrm{C}}^{+2}=57 \mathrm{Scm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \\ & \Lambda_{\mathrm{A}}^{+2}=73 \mathrm{Scm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \\ & \Lambda_{\text {Solution }}=\lambda_{\mathrm{C}}^{+2}+\Lambda_{\mathrm{A}}^{-2} \\ & =57+73=130\end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
