Given λ°(Ca²⁺) = 119.0 and λ°(Cl⁻) = 76.3 S cm² mol⁻¹, the limiting molar conductivity of CaCl₂ is:

A195.3 S cm² mol⁻¹
B152.6 S cm² mol⁻¹
C313.0 S cm² mol⁻¹
D271.6 S cm² mol⁻¹
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 271.6 S cm² mol⁻¹
CaCl₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻. We have So Λ°_m = λ°(Ca²⁺) + 2 × λ°(Cl⁻). That is So Λ°_m = 119.0 + 2(76.3). That is So Λ°_m = 119.0 + 152.6. So So Λ°_m = **271.6 S cm² mol⁻¹**.
