Question

why does electrical conductivity of liquid NH3 is increased by adding and sodium chloride ????​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pure ammonia (NH3) has almost no charge carriers, but if ammonium chloride NH4+ Cl- is added, then there are the ions NH4+ and Cl- that can move in an electric field. If the ions can move under an electric field, then there is electrical conductivity.

Answer 2

Correct question:

Why does electrical conductivity of liquid NH₃ is increased by adding ammonium chloride?

Answer:

The electrical conductivity of liquid NH₃ is increased by adding ammonium chloride due to the involvement of Ammonium (NH₄⁺) and Chloride (Cl⁻) ions in it.

-Pure ammonia (NH₃) does not have any charge carriers.

- But if ammonium chloride (NH₄⁺Cl⁻) is added, then there will be Ammonium (NH₄⁺) and Chloride (Cl⁻) ions in it.

- These ions can move freely in an electric field and hence the electrical conductivity of liquid ammonia is increased.
