The correct Answer is:
To calculate the molar conductivity of ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH), we can use the provided molar conductivities of the other compounds and apply the concept of ionic conductivities. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Write the expression for molar conductivity of NH₄OH The molar conductivity of NH₄OH can be expressed in terms of its ions: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4OH) = \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4^+) + \Lambda_m^{\circ} (OH^-) \] ### Step 2: Use the given data for Ba(OH)₂ For barium hydroxide, Ba(OH)₂, we can express its molar conductivity as: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba(OH)_2) = \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba^{2+}) + 2 \Lambda_m^{\circ} (OH^-) \] Given: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba(OH)_2) = 517.6 \, \Omega^{-1} cm^2 mol^{-1} \] ### Step 3: Use the given data for BaCl₂ For barium chloride, BaCl₂, we can express its molar conductivity as: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (BaCl_2) = \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba^{2+}) + 2 \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Cl^-) \] Given: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (BaCl_2) = 240.6 \, \Omega^{-1} cm^2 mol^{-1} \] ### Step 4: Use the given data for NH₄Cl For ammonium chloride, NH₄Cl, we can express its molar conductivity as: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4Cl) = \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4^+) + \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Cl^-) \] Given: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4Cl) = 129.8 \, \Omega^{-1} cm^2 mol^{-1} \] ### Step 5: Set up the equations From the equations above, we can derive the following: 1. From Ba(OH)₂: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba^{2+}) + 2 \Lambda_m^{\circ} (OH^-) = 517.6 \] 2. From BaCl₂: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba^{2+}) + 2 \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Cl^-) = 240.6 \] 3. From NH₄Cl: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4^+) + \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Cl^-) = 129.8 \] ### Step 6: Solve for ionic conductivities We can manipulate these equations to isolate the variables. First, we can express \( \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Cl^-) \) in terms of \( \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4^+) \): \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Cl^-) = 129.8 - \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4^+) \] ### Step 7: Substitute and solve Substituting this into the equation for BaCl₂: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba^{2+}) + 2(129.8 - \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4^+)) = 240.6 \] This simplifies to: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba^{2+}) + 259.6 - 2\Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4^+) = 240.6 \] \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba^{2+}) - 2\Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4^+) = -19 \] ### Step 8: Use Ba(OH)₂ equation Now, we can use the Ba(OH)₂ equation: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba^{2+}) + 2\Lambda_m^{\circ} (OH^-) = 517.6 \] We can express \( \Lambda_m^{\circ} (OH^-) \) in terms of \( \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba^{2+}) \): \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (OH^-) = \frac{517.6 - \Lambda_m^{\circ} (Ba^{2+})}{2} \] ### Step 9: Substitute back to find \( \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4OH) \) Finally, we can substitute back to find \( \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4OH) \): \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4OH) = \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4^+) + \Lambda_m^{\circ} (OH^-) \] ### Step 10: Calculate the final value After substituting the values and solving, we find: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4OH) = 268.3 \, \Omega^{-1} cm^2 mol^{-1} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \Lambda_m^{\circ} (NH_4OH) = 268.3 \, \Omega^{-1} cm^2 mol^{-1} \]
