Q.

In a saturated solution of AgBr(Ksp=2×10-13), if 10-7 moles of AgNO3 are added to 1 litre of this solution, find specific conductance of this solution in terms of 10-7 S m-1 units.

Given: λ(Ag+)∘=6×10-3 S m2/mol

           λ(NO3-)∘=7×10-3 S m2/mol

          λ(Br-)∘=8×10-3 S m2/mol

AgBr(s)⇌Ag+(s+10-7)+Br-s

s2+10-7s-20×10-14=0

s=-10-7+10-14+80×10-142=4×10-7

[Ag+]=5×10-7 M

[Br-]=4×10-7 M

[NO3-]=1×10-7 M

Λ°=K1000 C⇒KAg+1=6×10-3×1000×5×10-7

=30×10-7 s-1 m2/mol

KNO3-1=7×1×10-7 s m2/mol

KBr-1=8×4×10-7 s m2/mol=32×10-7

Ktotal1=69×10-7 sm2/mol
