Solution

The correct option is A 1.6×105
Here, we are given
Λm for NH4Cl=129.8 Scm2mol1
Λm for NaOH=217.4 Scm2mol1
Λm for NaCl=108.9 Scm2mol1
By Kohlrausch's law,
Λm for NH4OH=ΛNH+4+ΛOH
Λm(NH4Cl)+Λm(NaOH)
Λm(NaCl)
=129.8+217.4108.9=238.3 Scm2mol1
Given Λcm=9.532 Scm2mol1
Degree of dissociation (α)=ΛcmΛm
=9.532238.3=0.04
NH4OHNH+4+OH
Initial conc. C - -
Equilibrium conc. CCα Cα Cα
K=Cα21α
Now, putting concentration = 0.01 N=0.01 M and α=0.04,
We get K=1.6×105
