Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A saturated solution of silver chloride in the laboratory water has a conductivity of . The water used had a conductivity of . The solution is so dilute that . Use and . Find the conductivity of the silver chloride itself, its solubility in , and its solubility product.
, with the ion values in : , , , , , . For a weak acid, . For a salt that hardly dissolves, .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Plan. Remove the water's share, find , then the concentration.
Step 1. The salt's conductivity. .
Step 2. The limiting value. .
Step 3. The solubility. . Divide by to get .
Step 4. The solubility product. Each formula unit gives one and one , so .
Watch out. If the water is not subtracted, the solubility comes out per cent too large.
Answer: , and .
