Interpretation:
Using the data, seven acids are to be arranged in increasing order of electrical conductivity.
Concept introduction:
The value of the acid ionization constant tells about the state of whether reactants or products are more favored in the reaction.
For a reaction,
The acid ionization constant is given by:
The more the value of ka , the stronger is the acid and more is the electrical conductivity.
Answer to Problem 21SSC
The increasing order of electrical conductivity is given by:
Explanation of Solution
The more the value of ka , the stronger is the acid and more is the electrical conductivity.
Acid | ka |
| |
| |
| |
|
Therefore, the increasing order of electrical conductivity is given by:
Thus, the more the value of acid ionization constant, the more is the electrical conductivity of the solution.
