Question

For a saturated solution of AgCl at 25°C, specific conductance 3.41 × 10-6 ohm-1 cm-1 and of water used for preparing. The solution is 1.60 × 10-6 ohm-1 cm-1. If λAgCl = 138.3 ohm-1 cm2 eq-1, the Ksp of AgCl is 0.17 × 10-x M2.

The value of x is

Moderate
Solution

For AgCl, molarity = normality 

κ=3.41×1061.6×106=1.81×106Ω1cm1

For saturated solution of sparingly soluble salt,

λV=λ  and   solubility = normality 

 λV=λ=1000×Ks s=1000×Kλ=1000×1.81×106138.3=1.31×105 Now, Ksp(AgCl)=s2=1.31×1052=0.1716×109 x=9
