For AgCl, molarity $$=$$ normality κ$$=3.41$$×$$10$$−$$6$$−$$1.6$$×$$10$$−$$6=1.81$$×$$10$$−$$6$$Ω−$$1cm$$−$$1For$$ saturated solution of sparingly soluble salt,λ$$V=$$λ∞  and   solubility $$=$$ normality ∴ λ$$V=$$λ∞$$=1000$$×Ks∴ $$s=1000$$×Kλ∞$$=1000$$×$$1.81$$×$$10$$−$$6138.3=1.31$$×$$10$$−$$5$$ Now, $$Ksp(AgCl)=s2=1.31$$×$$10$$−$$52=0.1716$$×$$10$$−$$9$$∴ $$x=9$$
