$AgNO _3$ (aq.) was added to an aqueous KCl solution gradually and the conductivity of the solution was measured. The plot of conductance $(\Lambda)$ versus the volume of $AgNO _3$ is:
Image
  • A
    (P)
  • B
    (R)
  • C
    (Q)
  • D
    (S)
Answer
D. (S)
Explanation:
Initial conductance $(\Lambda)$ of solution was due to $K _{(a q)}^{+}$and $Cl _{(a q)}^{-}$. On addition of $AgNO _3$, the reaction occurs as
$AgNO_3(aq)+KCl(aq) \rightarrow AgCl \downarrow+KNO_3$
Showing $AgNO _3$ as limiting reagent upto complete precipitation. The conductance up to precipitation shows horizontal linearly due to $K _{(a q)}^{+}$and (left $Cl ^{-}$formed $NO _3$ ) anions as ionic mobility of $NO _3$ and CP are almost same. After complete precipitation, further addition of $AgNO _3$, the conductance is observed due to $K ^{+}, NO _3$ ions and added $Ag ^{+}, NO _3$ ions thus a sudden increase is noticed.
