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 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
