We have taken a saturated solution of AgBr \text{AgBr} , whose K s p K_{sp} is 12 × 1 0 14 12 \times 10^{-14} . If 1 0 7 M 10^{-7}\text{ M} of AgNO 3 \text{AgNO}_{3} is added to 1 L of this solution, what would be the conductivity (specific conductance) of the solution?

Given, λ ( A g + ) o = 6 × 1 0 3 S m 2 m o l 1 \lambda^{o}_{(Ag ^{+})} = 6 \times 10^{-3} Sm^{2} mol^{-1} λ ( B r ) o = 8 × 1 0 3 S m 2 m o l 1 \lambda^{o}_{(Br ^{-})} = 8 \times 10^{-3} Sm^{2} mol^{-1} λ ( N O 3 ) o = 7 × 1 0 3 S m 2 m o l 1 \lambda^{o}_{(NO_{3} ^{-})} = 7 \times 10^{-3} Sm^{2} mol^{-1}

Express the answer in terms of 1 0 7 S m 1 u n i t s 10^{-7} Sm^{-1} units

Write the dissociation equilibria for AgBr Calculate the common ion concentration (Ag(+) And the resulting solubility of the salt Calculate the concentrations of all ions in solution And then simply use 1000*(Equivalent conductance of solution) = Sum of (Molar Conductances) * Concentrations} This should yield the answer
