Answers
Answer:
50 is answer dear friend
The percentage of ionization of the electrolyte AB will be 50%.
Given:
The experimental elevation in boiling points of an electrolyte AB = 0.81K
The calculated elevation in boiling point= 0.54K
To Find:
The percentage ionization of the electrolyte at this concentration.
Solution:
Let us assume α is the degree of dissociation.
AB-->
Initial no. of moles of AB, cation A and anion B are 1, 0, and 0 respectively.
Moles after dissociation are 1, α, and α respectively.
Van't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass.
Van’t Hoff factor, i= Moles of solute after dissociation/ Normal moles of solute
Hence,
i= Normal value / Calculated value= 0.81/0.54=1.5
1+ α= 1.5
⇒α=0.5
Hence, Percentage of ionization = 0.5x 100= 50%
