AgNO3(aq) was added to an aqueous KCl solution gradually and the conductivity of the solution was measured. The plot of conductance (A) versus the volume of AgNO3 is
(IIT-JEE, 2011)
S
AgNO3(aq)+KCl(aq)→AgCl↓+KNO3(aq)
In this reaction, Cl⊖ ions are replaced by NO⊖3 ions.
(i) Till all KCl(Cl⊖ions) gets consumed by NO⊖3 ions, Cl⊖ will get replaced by NO⊖3 ion.
K⨁Cl⊖AgNO3→K⨁NO⊖3.
Conductance is constant since the conductance (A) of Cl⊖≈conductance of NO⊖3.
Initially, conductance do not fall to a large extent. Even the fall/rise will be linear (either decreasing or increasing).
(ii) When all Cl⊖ ions are reacted and no reaction occurs, there are Ag⨁,NO⊖3, and K⨁ ions are left in the solution which increases the conductance of solution sharply.
K⨁Cl⊖AgNO3→Ag⨁+K⨁+NO⊖3
