The limiting molar conductivity of BaCl\(_2\) is 280 S cm\(^2\) mol\(^{-1}\). If \( \lambda^\circ_{Ba^{2+}} = 127 \, S \, cm^2 \, mol^{-1} \), what is \( \lambda^\circ_{Cl^-} \)?

\( \Lambda_m^\circ = \lambda^\circ_{Ba^{2+}} + 2\lambda^\circ_{Cl^-} \).

\( 280 = 127 + 2\lambda^\circ_{Cl^-} \), \( 2\lambda^\circ_{Cl^-} = 153 \), \( \lambda^\circ_{Cl^-} = 76.5 \, S \, cm^2 \, mol^{-1} \).

127 S cm\(^2\) mol\(^{-1}\)
153 S cm\(^2\) mol\(^{-1}\)
76.5 S cm\(^2\) mol\(^{-1}\)

What is the time (in seconds) required to deposit 1.175 g of sodium from molten NaCl using a current of 2 A? (Atomic mass of Na = 23.5 g/mol, F = 96500 C/mol)

\( Na^+ + e^- \rightarrow Na \). 1 mol Na (23.5 g) requires 1F.

Moles = \( \frac{1.175}{23.5} = 0.05 \, mol \), Charge = \( 0.05 \times 96500 = 4825 \, C \).

\( t = \frac{Q}{I} = \frac{4825}{2} = 2412.5 \, s \).

A weak electrolyte has \( \Lambda_m^\circ = 390 \, S \, cm^2 \, mol^{-1} \) and a degree of dissociation of 0.02 at 0.1 M. What is the conductivity of the solution?

\( \Lambda_m = \alpha \Lambda_m^\circ = 0.02 \times 390 = 7.8 \, S \, cm^2 \, mol^{-1} \).

\( \kappa = \frac{\Lambda_m \times c}{1000} = \frac{7.8 \times 0.1}{1000} = 0.00078 \, S \, cm^{-1} \).

0.0078 S cm\(^{-1}\)

In electrolysis of molten MgCl\(_2\), 0.24 g of Mg (atomic mass 24 g/mol) is deposited. What volume of Cl\(_2\) gas (STP) is produced at the anode? (F = 96500 C/mol)

Cathode: \( Mg^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Mg \). Moles = \( \frac{0.24}{24} = 0.01 \, mol \), Charge = \( 0.01 \times 2 \times 96500 = 1930 \, C \).

Anode: \( 2Cl^- \rightarrow Cl_2 + 2e^- \). Moles Cl\(_2\) = \( 0.01 \, mol \), Volume = \( 0.01 \times 22.4 = 0.224 \, L \).
