JEE Main 2025 — 3 April, Morning Shift — Question 4

Correct order of limiting molar conductivity for cations in water at 298 K is :

  1. Option A:

    H+>Na+>K+>Ca2+>Mg2+\mathrm{H}^{+}>\mathrm{Na}^{+}>\mathrm{K}^{+}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}>\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}

  2. Option B:

    Mg2+>H+>Ca2+>K+>Na+\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}>\mathrm{H}^{+}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}>\mathrm{K}^{+}>\mathrm{Na}^{+}

  3. Option C:

    H+>Ca2+>Mg2+>K+>Na+\mathrm{H}^{+}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}>\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}>\mathrm{K}^{+}>\mathrm{Na}^{+}

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    H+>Na+>Ca2+>Mg2+>K+\mathrm{H}^{+}>\mathrm{Na}^{+}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}>\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}>\mathrm{K}^{+}

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

λm0\lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^{0} order

H+>Ca2+>Mg2+>K+>Na+\mathrm{H}^{+}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}>\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}>\mathrm{K}^{+}>\mathrm{Na}^{+}
