Medium INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

The solubility product of a sparingly soluble salt A2X3 is 1.1 $\times$ 10$-$23. If specific conductance of the solution is 3 $\times$ 10$-$5 S m$-$1, the limiting molar conductivity of the solution is $x \,\times$ 10$-$3 S m2 mol$-$1. The value of x is ___________.

Answer (integer) 3

Solution

$A_{2} X_{3} \rightleftharpoons \underset{2S}{2 \mathrm{~A}}+\underset{3S}{3 \mathrm{X}}$ <br/><br/> $$ \begin{aligned} &\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{sp}}=(2 \mathrm{~s})^{2}(3 s)^{3}=1.1 \times 10^{-23} \\\\ &\mathrm{~S} \approx 10^{-5} \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/> For sparingly soluble salts <br/><br/> $$ \begin{aligned} \wedge_{m} &=\wedge_{m}^{0} \\\\ \wedge_{m} &=\frac{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{S} \times 10^{3}} \\\\ &=\frac{3 \times 10^{-5}}{10^{-5}} \times 10^{-3} \\\\ &=3 \times 10^{-3} ~ \mathrm{Sm}^{2} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \end{aligned} $$
