Assertion: If λºNa+ and λºCl- are molar limiting conductivity of sodium and chloride ions respectively, then the limiting molar conductivity for sodium chloride is given by the equation : ⋀°NaCl = λºNa+ + λºCl-
Reason: This is according to Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(e) If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
Explanation:
According to Kohlrausch law, “limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte can be represented as the sum of the individual contributions of the anion and cation of the electrolyte.”
