AgNO ₃(a q) was added to an aqueous KCl solution gradually and the conductivity of the solution was measured. The plot of conductance ( ) versus the volume of AgNO ₃ is
Options

- CR
- DS
Correct answer
D. S
Step-by-step solution
As AgNO ₃ is added to solution, KCl will be displaced accrding to following reaction AgNO ₃(a q)+ KCl (a q) AgCl (s)+ KNO ₃(a q) For every mole of KCl displaced from solution, one mole of KNO ₃ comes in solution resulting in almost constant conductivity. As the end point is reached, added AgNO ₃ remain in solution increasing ionic concentration, hence conductivity increases.
