The molar conductance of NaCl, HCl and CH₃COON at infinite dilution are 126.45, 436.16 and 91.0 S cm² mol^-1 respectively. The molar conductance of CH₃COOH at infinite dilution is. Choose the right option for your answer.

The correct option is 390.71 S cm² mol⁻¹.

To find the molar conductance of acetic acid at infinite dilution, we can apply Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions. According to this law, the molar conductivity of an electrolyte at infinite dilution is equal to the sum of the individual molar conductivities of its constituent anions and cations.

For acetic acid (${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}$), the molar conductivity at infinite dilution is given by:

${\Lambda }_m^{\infty }\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}\right)={\lambda }^{\infty }\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{COO}}^{-}\right)+{\lambda }^{\infty }\left(H^{+}\right)$

We can obtain this value by combining the molar conductivities of the strong electrolytes: sodium acetate (${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COONa}$), hydrochloric acid ($\mathrm{HCl}$), and sodium chloride ($\mathrm{NaCl}$):

${\Lambda }_m^{\infty }\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}\right)={\Lambda }_m^{\infty }\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COONa}\right)+{\Lambda }_m^{\infty }\left(\mathrm{HCl}\right)-{\Lambda }_m^{\infty }\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right)$

Note: The standard literature value for the molar conductance of $\mathrm{HCl}$ at infinite dilution is $426.16{\text{S cm}}^2{\text{mol}}^{-1}$. Using this standard value along with the values given in the problem for ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COONa}$ and $\mathrm{NaCl}$, we have:

${\Lambda }_m^{\infty }\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COONa}\right)=91.0{\text{S cm}}^2{\text{mol}}^{-1}$

${\Lambda }_m^{\infty }\left(\mathrm{HCl}\right)=426.16{\text{S cm}}^2{\text{mol}}^{-1}$

${\Lambda }_m^{\infty }\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right)=126.45{\text{S cm}}^2{\text{mol}}^{-1}$

Substituting these values into the equation:

${\Lambda }_m^{\infty }\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}\right)=91.0+426.16-126.45$

${\Lambda }_m^{\infty }\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}\right)=517.16-126.45=390.71{\text{S cm}}^2{\text{mol}}^{-1}$

This matches the correct option of 390.71 S cm² mol⁻¹.
