`17.4% K_(2)SO_(4)` solution at `27^(@)C` is isotonic with `4% NaOH` solution at the same temperature. If `NaOH` is `100%` ionized, what is the degree of ionization of `K_(2)SO_(4)` in aqueous solution?

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the concept of isotonic solutions and the degree of ionization.

### Step 1: Understand the Problem
We have a 17.4% K₂SO₄ solution that is isotonic with a 4% NaOH solution. We need to find the degree of ionization (α) of K₂SO₄ in this solution.

### Step 2: Calculate the Molar Concentration of NaOH
1. **Find the mass of NaOH in 100 mL of solution:**
\[
