Solution

The correct option is D 3.956 S cm2mol1
For KCl solution:

κ=bR

Here κ is the conductivity, b is the cell constant and R is the resistance.

0.00189S/cm=b410.5ohm

Hence, the cell constant b is 0.776/cm

For CaCl2 solution:

κ=bR=0.776/cm990ohm=0.000784S/cm

The molar concentration is C=11g0.5L×111g/mol=0.198M

The molar conductivity of CaCl2 solution is 1000 κC=1000×0.0007840.198=3.956Scm2/mol

Hence, the correct option is A
