The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the conductivity of the anion \( Y^- \) in a saturated solution of \( AgX \) and \( AgY \). We are given the solubility products \( K_{sp} \) for both salts, the conductivity of the solution, and the limiting molar conductivities of \( Ag^+ \) and \( X^- \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Dissociation of Salts:** - For \( AgX \): \[ AgX \rightleftharpoons Ag^+ + X^- \] Let the solubility of \( AgX \) be \( s \). Then, at equilibrium: \[ [Ag^+] = s \quad \text{and} \quad [X^-] = s \] Thus, the solubility product \( K_{sp} \) is given by: \[ K_{sp} = [Ag^+][X^-] = s \cdot s = s^2 \] Given \( K_{sp} = 3 \times 10^{-12} \): \[ s^2 = 3 \times 10^{-12} \implies s = \sqrt{3 \times 10^{-12}} = \sqrt{3} \times 10^{-6} \approx 1.73 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{mol/L} \] 2. **For \( AgY \):** - For \( AgY \): \[ AgY \rightleftharpoons Ag^+ + Y^- \] Let the solubility of \( AgY \) be \( y \). Then: \[ [Ag^+] = y \quad \text{and} \quad [Y^-] = y \] The solubility product \( K_{sp} \) is: \[ K_{sp} = [Ag^+][Y^-] = y \cdot y = y^2 \] Given \( K_{sp} = 10^{-12} \): \[ y^2 = 10^{-12} \implies y = \sqrt{10^{-12}} = 10^{-6} \, \text{mol/L} \] 3. **Total Concentration of Ions:** - The total concentration of \( Ag^+ \) ions from both salts is: \[ [Ag^+] = s + y = 1.73 \times 10^{-6} + 10^{-6} = 2.73 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{mol/L} \] 4. **Calculating Conductivity:** - The conductivity \( \kappa \) of the solution is given by: \[ \kappa = c \cdot (\lambda_{Ag^+} + \lambda_{X^-} + \lambda_{Y^-}) \] Where \( c \) is the concentration of ions. We know: \[ \kappa = 0.4 \times 10^{-6} \, \Omega^{-1} \text{cm}^{-1} \] Given: - \( \lambda_{Ag^+} = 60 \, \Omega^{-1} \text{cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \) - \( \lambda_{X^-} = 90 \, \Omega^{-1} \text{cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \) 5. **Setting Up the Equation:** - The equation for conductivity becomes: \[ 0.4 \times 10^{-6} = (2.73 \times 10^{-6}) \cdot (60 + 90 + \lambda_{Y^-}) \] - Simplifying: \[ 0.4 \times 10^{-6} = (2.73 \times 10^{-6}) \cdot (150 + \lambda_{Y^-}) \] 6. **Solving for \( \lambda_{Y^-} \):** - Rearranging gives: \[ 0.4 \times 10^{-6} = 2.73 \times 10^{-6} \cdot (150 + \lambda_{Y^-}) \] \[ \frac{0.4 \times 10^{-6}}{2.73 \times 10^{-6}} = 150 + \lambda_{Y^-} \] \[ \lambda_{Y^-} = \frac{0.4}{2.73} - 150 \] - Calculating: \[ \lambda_{Y^-} \approx 1.47 \times 10^{-7} \, \Omega^{-1} \text{cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1} \] ### Final Answer: The conductivity of \( Y^- \) is approximately \( 1.45 \times 10^{-7} \, \Omega^{-1} \text{cm}^{-1} \).
