Question:

In a conductometric titration, small volume of titrant of higher concentration is added stepwise to a larger volume of titrate of much lower concentration, and the conductance is measured after each addition.
The limiting ionic conductivity (Λ0) values (in mS m2mol−1 ) for different ions in aqueous solutions are given below:
IonsAg+K+Na+H+\(\text{NO}_{3}^{-}\)Cl-\(\text{SO}^{2-}_{4}\)OH-CH3COO-
\(\Lambda_0\)6.27.45.035.07.27.616.019.94.1
For different combinations of titrates and titrants given in List-I, the graphs of 'conductance' versus ‘volume of titrant’ are given in List-II.
Match each entry in List-I with the appropriate entry in List-II and choose the correct option.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Analyzing Each Titration Reaction 

  • (P) KCl + AgNO3
    • Ag+ reacts with Cl- to form AgCl precipitate, removing conductive ions.
    • Conductance initially decreases as Cl- is removed, then increases due to excess Ag+.
    • Corresponds to (3) - V-shape (Decrease, then increase).
  • (Q) AgNO3 + KCl
    • Ag+ is removed as AgCl precipitates.
    • Conductance steadily decreases due to the removal of mobile ions.
    • Corresponds to (4) - Steady decline.
  • (R) NaOH + HCl
    • Neutralization reaction: \( \text{NaOH} + \text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{NaCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \)
    • Conductance decreases initially as OH- is replaced by less conductive Cl-.
    • Then increases as excess H+ is added.
    • Corresponds to (2) - Decrease, minimum, then increase.
  • (S) NaOH + CH3COOH
    • Weak acid titration: \( \text{NaOH} + \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COONa} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \)
    • Conductance first increases as CH3COO- is formed, then decreases as the reaction completes.
    • Corresponds to (5) - Increase then decrease (Inverse V-shape).

Step 2: Conclusion

  • (P) → (3)
  • (Q) → (4)
  • (R) → (2)
  • (S) → (5)

Thus, the correct answer is (C) P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-5.
