At infinite dilution, equivalent conductances of Ba2+Ba^{2+} & ClCl^- ions are 127127 & 76 ohm1cm1 eq176 \text{ ohm}^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}\text{ eq}^{-1} respectively. Equivalent conductance (ohm1cm1 eq1\text{ohm}^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}\text{ eq}^{-1}) of BaCl2BaCl_2 at infinite dilution is:

A

139.5

B

101.5

C

203

D

279

Step-by-Step Solution

According to Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions, the equivalent conductance of an electrolyte at infinite dilution is equal to the sum of the equivalent conductances of its constituent ions at infinite dilution.

Λeq(BaCl2)=λeq(Ba2+)+λeq(Cl)\Lambda^{\circ}_{eq}(BaCl_2) = \lambda^{\circ}_{eq}(Ba^{2+}) + \lambda^{\circ}_{eq}(Cl^-)

Given: λeq(Ba2+)=127 ohm1cm1 eq1\lambda^{\circ}_{eq}(Ba^{2+}) = 127 \text{ ohm}^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}\text{ eq}^{-1} λeq(Cl)=76 ohm1cm1 eq1\lambda^{\circ}_{eq}(Cl^-) = 76 \text{ ohm}^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}\text{ eq}^{-1}

Λeq(BaCl2)=127+76=203 ohm1cm1 eq1\Lambda^{\circ}_{eq}(BaCl_2) = 127 + 76 = 203 \text{ ohm}^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}\text{ eq}^{-1}

Note: For equivalent conductance, we simply add the equivalent conductances of the ions. The stoichiometric coefficients are not multiplied as they are in the case of molar conductance.
