Molar conductivity of an electrolyte is the conductance of all the ions produced by one gram mole of the electrolyte in solution and is denoted as Lambda_(m). Lambda_(m)=(kxx1000)/(c ) Here k is the specific conductance while c is the molar concentration of the electrolyte. The molar conductance of the strong electrolytes at infinite dilution (Lambda_(m)^(oo)) can be obtained graphically by extrapolation while the same for weak electrolytes cannot be obtained graphically. It can be calculated theoretically with the help of Kohrausch's. Law. Lambda_(m(AxBy))^(oo)=xlambda_(m (A^(y+)))^(oo)+ylambda_(m(B^(x)))^(oo) Equivalent conductance of 1 M methanoic acid solution is 10" ohm"^(-1)cm^(2)" equiv"^(-1) and at infinite dilution it is 200" ohym"^(-1)cm^(2)" equiv"^(-1). The pH of methanoic acid solution is :

7
3.3
1.3
6.8.

Solution :(c ) `alpha=(Lambda_(m)^(c ))/(Lambda_(m)^(prop))=((10" OHM"^(-1) cm^(2) " equiv"^(-1)))/((200" ohm"^(-1) cm^(2)" equiv"^(-1)))=0.05`
`[H^(+)]= C alpha=1Mxx0.05=0.05 M`
`pH=-LOG [H^(+)]=-log(0.05)`
`=-log(5xx10^(-2))=(2-log 5)`
=2-0.6990=1.3
