AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around an experiment on the conductivity of solutions, specifically focusing on how to calculate molar conductivity from given results, which include acid concentration in mol/dm and conductance in mS. Participants seek clarification on deriving the molar conductivity and the relationship between acid concentration and conductance. The conversation also touches on Kohlrausch's law, questioning whether Mandelic acid and HCl follow this law and their classification as strong or weak acids, with HCl confirmed as a strong acid. Additionally, there is a request for the literature value of HCl. The experiment is part of a physical chemistry lab course, and some participants express a willingness to assist further, although they note the need for more detailed information about the experimental results.

Hi everyone :)

please I need help to show me what to do with these points related to the conductivity of solutions experiment :

1- results I got from this experiment are the acid in mol dm and the conductance in mS.

however, how can I get the aci in mol m,square root of the acid in mol/dm and the molar conductivity?

2- In Kohlrausch's law, do Mandelic acid and HCL obey the equation and are they strong or weak acids?

3- What's the literature value of HCL?

Thanks

what course is this for?
 
it's for chemlab (physical chem.) experiments...
 
I've not taken physical chem before...here's a link, hopefully it'll refresh your memory. Otherwise, chemtr or someone else should be able to help you out.

By the way HCl is a strong acid. The experiment seems simple enough, I may be able to assist you with the problem, yet I don't have the complete info on this subject with me at this time. You can try explaining it more extensively. Also it seems that some of the questions actually depend upon your experimental results, you should discuss these also.

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'
I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...

I tracks prices of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir and Ru. Of the 5 metals, rhodium (Rh) is the most expensive. A year ago, Rh and Ir...
