The correct Answer is:
To find the limiting molar conductivity of \( NH_4OH \) (i.e., \( \Lambda_m^{(@)}(NH_4OH) \)), we can use Kohlrausch's law. According to this law, the molar conductivity of an electrolyte can be expressed as the sum of the molar conductivities of its constituent ions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the ions in \( NH_4OH \)**: - \( NH_4OH \) dissociates into \( NH_4^+ \) (ammonium ion) and \( OH^- \) (hydroxide ion). 2. **Write the expression for molar conductivity**: - According to Kohlrausch's law: \[ \Lambda_m^{(@)}(NH_4OH) = \Lambda_m(NH_4^+) + \Lambda_m(OH^-) \] 3. **Gather information from given data**: - We need the molar conductivities of \( NH_4Cl \), \( NaCl \), and \( NaOH \) to find \( \Lambda_m(NH_4^+) \) and \( \Lambda_m(OH^-) \). - From the dissociation of these salts, we can write: - For \( NH_4Cl \): \[ \Lambda_m(NH_4Cl) = \Lambda_m(NH_4^+) + \Lambda_m(Cl^-) \] - For \( NaCl \): \[ \Lambda_m(NaCl) = \Lambda_m(Na^+) + \Lambda_m(Cl^-) \] - For \( NaOH \): \[ \Lambda_m(NaOH) = \Lambda_m(Na^+) + \Lambda_m(OH^-) \] 4. **Set up the equations**: - Let’s denote: - \( \Lambda_m(NH_4^+) = x \) - \( \Lambda_m(OH^-) = y \) - \( \Lambda_m(Na^+) \) and \( \Lambda_m(Cl^-) \) are known from the data. 5. **Combine the equations**: - From the equations: - \( x + \Lambda_m(Cl^-) = \Lambda_m(NH_4Cl) \) (1) - \( \Lambda_m(Na^+) + \Lambda_m(Cl^-) = \Lambda_m(NaCl) \) (2) - \( \Lambda_m(Na^+) + y = \Lambda_m(NaOH) \) (3) 6. **Solve for \( x \) and \( y \)**: - From equations (1) and (2), we can eliminate \( \Lambda_m(Cl^-) \): \[ \Lambda_m(NH_4Cl) - \Lambda_m(NaCl) = x - y \] - Rearranging gives us: \[ x + y = \Lambda_m(NH_4Cl) + \Lambda_m(NaOH) - \Lambda_m(NaCl) \] 7. **Final expression for \( \Lambda_m^{(@)}(NH_4OH) \)**: - Substitute \( x \) and \( y \) into the equation for \( \Lambda_m^{(@)}(NH_4OH) \): \[ \Lambda_m^{(@)}(NH_4OH) = x + y = \Lambda_m(NH_4Cl) + \Lambda_m(NaOH) - \Lambda_m(NaCl) \] ### Final Answer: \[ \Lambda_m^{(@)}(NH_4OH) = \Lambda_m(NH_4Cl) + \Lambda_m(NaOH) - \Lambda_m(NaCl) \]
