  1. A \(357.0 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(140.0 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(44.8 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(280.0 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(280.0 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{k} \times 1000}{\mathrm{M}}
\)
Conductivity \((\mathrm{k})=0.0112 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{0.0112 \times 1000}{0.04} \\
& =280 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}
\end{aligned}
