Question
41. The equivalent conductance of a 0.01 N $NH_4OH$ solution is 13.6 $S cm^2 eq^{-1}$. If the limiting equivalent conductance ($\Lambda_{eq}^\circ$) of $NH_4OH$ is calculated to be 272 $S cm^2 eq^{-1}$, what is the exact percentage degree of dissociation ($\% \alpha$)?
Answer: B
💡 Solution & Explanation
The degree of dissociation $\alpha = \Lambda_{eq}^c / \Lambda_{eq}^\circ$. Substituting the values: $\alpha = 13.6 / 272 = 0.05$. Converting to a percentage: $0.05 \times 100\% = 5.0\%$.
