Liquid `NH_(3)` ionises to a slight extent. At `-50^(@)C`, its ionic product `K_(NH_(3)) = [overset(Θ)Nh_(4)] [overset(Θ)NH_(2)]` is `10^(-30)`. How many amide ions, `overset(o+)NH_(2)` are present per `mm^(3)` of pure liquid `NH_(3)`?A. `6xx10^(6)ions`B. `6xx10^(5)ions`C. `6xx10^(-5)ions`D. `6xx10^(-6)ions` |
Answer» Correct Answer - B `2NH_(3)hArrNH_(4)^(+)+NH_(2)^(-)` (self ionisation) and `K = [NH_(4)^(+)][NH_(2)^(-)]` `:. [NH_(4)^(+)]=[NH_(2)^(-)]` `:. [NH_(2)^(-)]=sqrt(K)= sqrt(10^(-30))=10^(-15)M` Number of amide ions in `10^(3) cm^(3)` `=10^(-15)xx6xx10^(23)` `:.` Number of amide ions in `10^(3)cm^(3)` `=(10^(-15)xx6xx10^(23))/(10^(3))` `= 6xx10^(5)ions` |
