Electrochemistry · Molar conductivity degree of dissociation

Molar conductivity of a weak acid HQ of concentration 0.18 M was found to be 1/30 of the molar conductivity of another weak acid HZ with concentration of 0.02 M. If λQ−0\lambda^{0}_{\mathrm{Q}^-} happened to be equal with λZ−0\lambda^{0}_{\mathrm{Z}^-}, then the difference of the pKa\mathrm{p}K_\mathrm{a} values of the two weak acids (pKa(HQ)−pKa(HZ)\mathrm{p}K_\mathrm{a}(\mathrm{HQ})-\mathrm{p}K_\mathrm{a}(\mathrm{HZ})) is (Nearest integer).

[Given : degree of dissociation (α\alpha) ≪1\ll 1 for both weak acids, λ∘\lambda^\circ : limiting molar conductivity of ions]
