Q.

At K, the molar conductivities of the aqueous solutions of three salts at two different concentrations are given below:

SaltConcentration (M)Molar conductivity (S cm mol)
NaNO0.01111
0.04101
NaCl0.01117
0.04107
AgNO0.01125
0.04116

The conductivity of a saturated aqueous solution of AgCl is S cm at K. If the solubility of AgCl in water at K is mol L, then is

(Assume that AgCl dissolved in water ionizes completely and that the molar conductivity of saturated AgCl solution is equal to its limiting molar conductivity.)

  1. A

  2. B

  3. C

  4. D

Solution

Step 1 — Extract limiting molar conductivities using Debye-Huckel-Onsager form .

For each salt, the pair of values gives two equations:

NaNO: S cm mol.

NaCl: S cm mol.

AgNO: S cm mol.

Step 2 — Kohlrausch's law for AgCl.

S cm mol.

Step 3 — Relate conductivity to solubility. Since the saturated solution is taken to be at the limiting concentration,

.

mol L, so , matching option (C).
