We have taken a saturated solution of AgBr,Ksp\mathrm{AgBr}, K_{\mathrm{sp}} is 12×10−1412 \times 10^{-14}. If 10−710^{-7} mole of AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO}_3 are added to 1 litre of this solution, find conductivity (specific conductance) of this solution in terms of 10−7Sm−1units. Given, 10^{-7} \mathrm{Sm}^{-1} units. \text{ Given, }λ(Ag+)∘=6×10−3Sm2mol−1,λ(Br−)∘=8×10−3Sm2mol−1,λ(NO3−)=7×10−3Sm2mol−1,\begin{aligned} \lambda_{\left(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}\right)}^{\circ} & =6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Sm}^2 \mathrm{ mol}^{-1}, \lambda_{\left(\mathrm{Br}^{-}\right)}^{\circ}=8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Sm}^2 \mathrm{ mol}^{-1}, \\ \lambda_{\left(\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}\right)} & =7 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Sm}^2 \mathrm{ mol}^{-1}, \end{aligned}
