Question

Which of the following statements is/are correct:

• A. Liquid ammonia is a very good solvent for all alkali metals
• B. The solution of metals in liquid ammonia has very low conductivity
• C. The solutions of metals in liquid ammonia are very good oxidising agents
• D. $C{H}_{3}COOH$ is almost completely ionized in liquid ammonia

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A Liquid ammonia is a very good solvent for all alkali metals
D $C{H}_{3}COOH$ is almost completely ionized in liquid ammonia

a) Liquid ammonia is a very good solvent for alkali metals.

b) The solution of metals in liquid ammonia have a conductivity comparable to that of metals.

c) The solutions of metals in liquid ammonia are very good reducing agents because of the presence of free electrons.

d) $C{H}_{3}COOH$ is almost completely ionized in liquid ammonia because liquid ammonia accepts protons readily.
