Electrochemistry Ques 36

36. At $25^{\circ} C$ molar conductance of 0.1 molar aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide is 9.54 $ohm^{-1} cm^{2} mol^{-1}$ and at infinite dilution its molar conductance is $238 ohm^{-1} cm^{2} mol^{-1}$. The degree or ionisation of ammonium hydroxide at the same concentration and temperature is:

Answer:

Correct Answer: 36.(b)

Solution:

$ \text{ (b) } \alpha=\frac{\Lambda_m}{\Lambda_m^{\infty}}=\frac{9.54}{238}=0.04008=4.008 \% \text{. } $
