Q. At 25°C molar conductance of 0.1 molar aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide is 9.54 ohm⁻¹ cm² mol⁻¹ and at infinite dilution its molar conductance is 238 ohm⁻¹ cm² mol⁻¹. The degree of ionisation of ammonium hydroxide at the same concentration and temperature is

A) 2.080%
B) 20.800%
C) 4.008%
D) 40.800%
Explanation

[Solution from source] Degree of ionisation α = Λm/Λ°m = 9.54/238 = 0.04008, i.e. 4.008%. 40.8% comes from misplacing the decimal. Answer (3).
