An aqueous solution of X is added slowly to an aqueous solution of Y as shown in List I. The variation in conductivity of these reactions is given in List II. Match list I with List II and select the correct answer.

P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1
(P) (C2H5)3xN+CH3COOHy→(C2H5)3NH+CH3COO−
Initially conductivity increases because on neutralization ions are created. After that it becomes practically constant because X alone cannot form ions.
(Q) KI(0.1M)+AgNO3(0.01M)→AgI↓+KNO3
Number of ions in the solution remains constant as only AgNO3 precipitated as AgI. Thereafter conductance increases due to increase in number of ions.
(R) Initially conductance decreases due to the decrease in the number of OH ions as OH– is getting replaced by CH3COO– which has poorer conductivity thereafter it slowly increase in number of H+ ions.
(S) Initially it decreases due to decrease in H+ ions and then increases due to the increase in OH– ions.
