THE LIMITING EQUIVALENT CONDUCTANCES OF AMMONIUM CHLORIDE, AMMONIUM BROMIDE, AND AMMONIUM NITRATE AT 35.00 °C.

Abstract

The limiting equivalent conductances of ammonium chloride, ammonium bromide, and ammonium nitrate as well as the limiting ionic conductances of the ammonium and nitrate ions were determined at 35 °C. with a probable error of 0.05%. The values found were [Formula: see text] 180.97 mhos, [Formula: see text] 182.73 mhos, [Formula: see text] 174.21 mhos, [Formula: see text] 88.73 mhos, and [Formula: see text] 85.48 mhos. These values were obtained by the application of the Shedlovsky method of extrapolation to equivalent conductance data, which had been corrected for the hydrolysis of the ammonium ion.Observed equivalent conductances of aqueous solutions of ammonium nitrate at 35 °C., in the concentration range from 0.0002 N to 10 N, have been compared with those calculated by means of the Wishaw–Stokes and Falkenhagen–Leist equations. The Wishaw–Stokes equation was found to give better agreement with experiment than the Falkenhagen–Leist equation.
