The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the specific conductance (K) of a saturated solution of AgBr after adding AgNO3. The steps are as follows: ### Step 1: Determine the concentration of Ag⁺ and Br⁻ in the saturated solution of AgBr. The solubility product constant (Ksp) for AgBr is given as \( K_{sp} = 12 \times 10^{-14} \). For the dissociation of AgBr: \[ \text{AgBr} \rightleftharpoons \text{Ag}^+ + \text{Br}^- \] Let the solubility of AgBr be \( S \). Therefore, at equilibrium: \[ [\text{Ag}^+] = S \] \[ [\text{Br}^-] = S \] From the Ksp expression: \[ K_{sp} = [\text{Ag}^+][\text{Br}^-] = S^2 \] \[ 12 \times 10^{-14} = S^2 \] \[ S = \sqrt{12 \times 10^{-14}} = \sqrt{1.2 \times 10^{-13}} \approx 3.46 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{M} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the total concentration of Ag⁺ after adding AgNO3. When \( 10^{-7} \, \text{M} \) of AgNO3 is added, it contributes additional \( \text{Ag}^+ \) ions to the solution. Total concentration of \( \text{Ag}^+ \): \[ [\text{Ag}^+]_{total} = S + 10^{-7} = 3.46 \times 10^{-7} + 10^{-7} = 4.46 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{M} \] ### Step 3: The concentration of Br⁻ remains the same. The concentration of Br⁻ remains equal to the solubility of AgBr: \[ [\text{Br}^-] = S = 3.46 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{M} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the concentration of NO3⁻. The concentration of \( \text{NO}_3^- \) from AgNO3 is: \[ [\text{NO}_3^-] = 10^{-7} \, \text{M} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the individual conductivities. Using the given molar conductivities: - \( \lambda^0_{\text{Ag}^+} = 6 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{S m}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \) - \( \lambda^0_{\text{Br}^-} = 8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{S m}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \) - \( \lambda^0_{\text{NO}_3^-} = 7 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{S m}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \) The total conductivity \( K \) is given by: \[ K = \lambda^0_{\text{Ag}^+} [\text{Ag}^+] + \lambda^0_{\text{Br}^-} [\text{Br}^-] + \lambda^0_{\text{NO}_3^-} [\text{NO}_3^-] \] Calculating each term: 1. For \( \text{Ag}^+ \): \[ K_{\text{Ag}^+} = 6 \times 10^{-3} \times 4.46 \times 10^{-7} = 2.676 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{S m}^{-1} \] 2. For \( \text{Br}^- \): \[ K_{\text{Br}^-} = 8 \times 10^{-3} \times 3.46 \times 10^{-7} = 2.768 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{S m}^{-1} \] 3. For \( \text{NO}_3^- \): \[ K_{\text{NO}_3^-} = 7 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^{-7} = 7 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{S m}^{-1} \] ### Step 6: Sum the conductivities. Now, summing these contributions: \[ K_{total} = K_{\text{Ag}^+} + K_{\text{Br}^-} + K_{\text{NO}_3^-} \] \[ K_{total} = 2.676 \times 10^{-9} + 2.768 \times 10^{-9} + 7 \times 10^{-10} \] \[ K_{total} = 5.223 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{S m}^{-1} \] ### Step 7: Convert to the required units. To express this in terms of \( 10^{-7} \, \text{S m}^{-1} \): \[ K_{total} = 52.23 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{S m}^{-1} \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{52.23} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the specific conductance (K) of a saturated solution of AgBr after adding AgNO3. The steps are as follows: ### Step 1: Determine the concentration of Ag⁺ and Br⁻ in the saturated solution of AgBr.
