2. (a) Explain Kohlrauschs law of independent migration of ions. Mention

two applications of this law.

(b) The conductivity of 0.001M CH 3COOH is 4.95 10 5 Scm1.

Calculate its dissociation constant. Given for acetic acid m is
390.5 S cm2 mol1. [Ans. : = 0.126]

3. (i) Define molar conductivity. Draw the plots showing the variation of
molar conductivity fo strong and weak electrolysis with square root
of concentation.

(ii) Resistance of a solution (A) is 50 ohm and that of solution (B) is

100 ohm, both solution being take in the same conductivity cell, if
equal volumes of solutions (A) and (B) are mixed, what will be the
resistance of the mixture, using the same cell? Assume that there
is no increase in the degree of dissociation of (A) and (B) on
mixing. [Ans. : 66.66 ohm]
