Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

The equation that is incorrect is :

  1. A $${\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{KCl}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaCl}} = {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{KBr}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaBr}}$$
  2. B $${\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaBr}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaI}} = {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{KBr}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaBr}}$$ Correct answer
  3. C $${\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaBr}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaCl}} = {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{KBr}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{KCl}}$$
  4. D $${\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{{H_2}O}} = {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{HCl}} + {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaOH}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaCl}}$$

Solution

Left hand side : <br>${\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaBr}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaI}}$ = ${\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{Br^-}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{I^-}}$ ....(1) <br><br>Right hand side : <br><br>${\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{KBr}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{NaBr}}$ = ${\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{K^+}} - {\left( {\Lambda _m^0} \right)_{Na^+}}$ ....(2) <br><br>According to Kohlrausch's law option (B) is incorrect as (1) and (2) are not equal.
