Can you store copper sulphate solutions in a Zinc pot?

Answer

Answer:

No. Because zinc is more reactive than copper and thus holes will be developed in zinc pot.
Cu2+(aq) + Zn(s) → Zn2+ (aq) + Cu(s)

Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution?

Suggest a way to determine the Λ°m value of water.

The molar conductivity of 0.025 mol L–1 methanoic acid is 46.1 S cm2 mol–1. Calculate its degree of dissociation and dissociation constant. Give λ°(H+) = 349.6 S cm2 mol–1 and λ° (HCOO– ) = 54.6 s cm2 mol–1.
