Solution
The correct option is B391Ω−1cm2mol−1 According to kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions, the molar conductivity of an electrolyte at infinite dilution is equal to the sum of the contributions of the molar conductivites of its ions. Hence, Λ∞HOAc=Λ∞H++Λ∞AcO−=Λ∞NaOAc+Λ∞HCl−Λ∞NaCl Substitute the values in the above equation. Λ∞HOAc=91+426−126=391Ω−1cm2mol−1
