At K, the molar conductivities of the aqueous solutions of three salts at two different concentrations are given below:
| Salt | Concentration (M) | Molar conductivity (S cm mol) |
|---|---|---|
| NaNO | 0.01 | 111 |
| 0.04 | 101 | |
| NaCl | 0.01 | 117 |
| 0.04 | 107 | |
| AgNO | 0.01 | 125 |
| 0.04 | 116 |
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.)
- A
- B
- C
- D
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).
