Question #44764

A $0.01\text{ M}$ aqueous solution of the violet hydrate isomer of chromium(III) chloride ($\ce{CrCl3 \cdot 6H2O}$) is heated from $298\text{ K}$ to $348\text{ K}$. At $348\text{ K}$, the complex completely isomerizes to its dark green hydrate isomer. The temperature coefficient of equivalent conductivity for all ions is $\alpha = 0.02\text{ K}^{-1}$, such that $\lambda_{eq, T} = \lambda_{eq, 298}[1 + \alpha(T - 298)]$. Assuming the equivalent ionic conductivities ($\lambda_{eq}$) of all cationic and anionic species present are identical at any given temperature, what is the net percentage change in the molar conductivity ($\Lambda_m$) of the solution?
