Question

A conductivity cell, when filled with an aqueous solution of 0.02 M KCl at 25°C, had a resistance of 250 ohm. Its resistance, when filled with 6×105 M NH4OH solution was 105 ohm. The specific conducatnce of 0.02 M KCl was 0.277 S m1. The molar ionic conductances at infinite dilution of NH+4 and OHions are 73.4×104 and 198.0×104 S m2 mol1, respectively. Calculate the degree of dissociation of 6×105 M NH4OH solution:

Solution

The correct option is A 0.424
Since specific conductance (κ)= cell constant/R, hence

cell constant =κ R=(0.277 S m1)(250 Ω)=69.2 m1 (S=Ω1)

For NH4OH solution, c=6×105 M=6×105 mol dm3=6×102 mol m3

Λm=κc=cell constantc=69.2 m1(6×102mol m3×105Ω)

=115×104 S m2 mol1

According to Kohlrauch's law,

Λm=λ++λ=(73.4+198.0)×104 S m2 mol1

=271.4×104 S m2 mol1

α=ΛmΛm=115×104 S m2 mol1271.4×104 S m2 mol1=0.424
