Given below are two statements : Statement I : Mohr's salt is composed of only three types of ions-ferrous, ammonium and sulfate. Statement II : If the molar conductance at infinite dilution for ferrous, ammonium and sulfate ions are and , respectively then the molar conductance for Mohr's salt solution at infinite dilution would be given by In the light of the given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- ABoth Statements I and Statement II are true
- BStatement I is true but Statement II are false
- CBoth Statements I and Statement II are false
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: B
-
Write the formula of Mohr’s salt
Mohr’s salt is or equivalently,
-
Check Statement I
In aqueous solution, Mohr’s salt dissociates as:
The water of crystallization does not count as ions.
So, the ions present are of only three types:
- (ferrous)
- (ammonium)
- (sulfate)
Therefore, Statement I is true.
-
Check Statement II
Let the molar conductance at infinite dilution of ions be:
By Kohlrausch’s law, the molar conductance at infinite dilution of Mohr’s salt is the sum of ionic conductances multiplied by their stoichiometric coefficients:
because one formula unit gives:
But Statement II says: which misses one term.
Therefore, Statement II is false.
-
Conclusion
- Statement I: True
- Statement II: False
Hence the correct option is:
