Due date: Wednesday, September 13th, in class
1- (2.5 pts) The conductivity of 0.10 M solution of an unknown acid is 5.3x
10-5 Scm-1. The cell constant was 0.10 cm-1. Neglecting activity
coefficient, Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) and the Vant
Hoff factor. (mo for acetic acid = 390. S cm2 mol-1)
2- (2.5 pts) The observed osmotic pressure of 0.1 M acetic acid solution is
2.45 atm at 25.0 oC. Calculate the Vant Hoff factor and the degree of
ionization (). Compare your value with that obtained from problem 1.
Comment on your answer.

3- (2.5 pts) A conductivity cell has a resistance of 250 when filled with
0.02 M KCl and 1.0 x105 when filled with 6.0x10-5 M NH3. The molar
conductivity of 0.02 M KCL solution is 0.00277 -1 cm2 mol-1. The
molar conductivity of ammonium hydroxide at infinite dilution is 201.4
-1 cm2 mol-1. Calculate the cell constant and the degree of ionization for
ammonia.

4- (2.5 pts) The conductivity of saturated solution of silver chloride in pure

water at 25.0 oC is 1.26 x10-6 Scm-1 higher than that of the water used.
Calculate the solubility product constant for silver chloride at this
temperature.

Good Luck
