The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the dissociation of the salt The sparingly soluble salt \([M(NH_3)_4Br_2]H_2PO_2\) dissociates in solution as follows: \[ [M(NH_3)_4Br_2]H_2PO_2 \rightleftharpoons [M(NH_3)_4Br_2]^+ + H_2PO_2^- \] This means that for every mole of the salt that dissolves, we get one mole of \([M(NH_3)_4Br_2]^+\) and one mole of \(H_2PO_2^-\). ### Step 2: Define solubility (s) Let the solubility of the salt be \(s\) mol/L. Therefore, at equilibrium: - Concentration of \([M(NH_3)_4Br_2]^+\) = \(s\) - Concentration of \(H_2PO_2^-\) = \(s\) ### Step 3: Write the solubility product expression The solubility product constant \(K_{sp}\) is given by: \[ K_{sp} = [M(NH_3)_4Br_2^+] [H_2PO_2^-] = s \cdot s = s^2 \] We also know that \(K_{sp} = 10^{-x}\). Therefore, we have: \[ 10^{-x} = s^2 \tag{1} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the molar conductivity at infinite dilution The molar conductivity at infinite dilution \(\lambda_{M(NH_3)_4Br_2}^\infty\) is the sum of the molar conductivities of the ions: \[ \lambda_{M(NH_3)_4Br_2}^\infty = \lambda_{[M(NH_3)_4Br_2]^+} + \lambda_{H_2PO_2^-} \] Given: \[ \lambda_{[M(NH_3)_4Br_2]^+} = 400 \, S \cdot m^2 \cdot mol^{-1} \] \[ \lambda_{H_2PO_2^-} = 100 \, S \cdot m^2 \cdot mol^{-1} \] Thus, \[ \lambda_{M(NH_3)_4Br_2}^\infty = 400 + 100 = 500 \, S \cdot m^2 \cdot mol^{-1} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the specific conductivity (k) The specific resistance (or resistivity) is given as \(200 \, \Omega \cdot cm\). The specific conductivity \(k\) is the reciprocal of the specific resistance: \[ k = \frac{1}{\text{Specific Resistance}} = \frac{1}{200 \, \Omega \cdot cm} = 0.005 \, S \cdot cm^{-1} \] To convert \(S \cdot cm^{-1}\) to \(S \cdot m^{-1}\), we multiply by \(100\): \[ k = 0.005 \times 100 = 0.5 \, S \cdot m^{-1} \] ### Step 6: Calculate solubility (s) Using the formula: \[ s = \frac{k \cdot 1000}{\lambda_{M(NH_3)_4Br_2}^\infty} \] Substituting the values: \[ s = \frac{0.5 \cdot 1000}{500} = \frac{500}{500} = 1 \, mol/L \] ### Step 7: Substitute s back into the Ksp expression From equation (1): \[ 10^{-x} = s^2 = (1)^2 = 1 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ 10^{-x} = 10^{0} \implies -x = 0 \implies x = 0 \] ### Final Answer The value of \(x\) is \(0\).

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the dissociation of the salt The sparingly soluble salt \([M(NH_3)_4Br_2]H_2PO_2\) dissociates in solution as follows: \[ [M(NH_3)_4Br_2]H_2PO_2 \rightleftharpoons [M(NH_3)_4Br_2]^+ + H_2PO_2^- \] This means that for every mole of the salt that dissolves, we get one mole of \([M(NH_3)_4Br_2]^+\) and one mole of \(H_2PO_2^-\). ...
