Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(135.9 \mathrm{Scm}^{2} \mathrm{eq}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_{m}^{-}=\lambda_{m}^{-}\) (oxalate) \(+\lambda_{m}^{-}\left(\mathrm{Na}^{+}\right)+\lambda_{m}^{-}\left(\mathrm{K}^{+}\right)\) \[ \begin{array}{l} =(148 \cdot 2+73 \cdot 5+50 \cdot 1) \\ =271.85 \mathrm{cm}^{2} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \end{array} \] \(\therefore\)…
