Solution

Step 1: Calculate the conductivity of the solution

Conductivity, K=ConductanceCellconstant=0.55×10-31.3

K=71.5×10-5Scm-1

Step 2: Calculate the molar conductivity of the solution

Molar conductivity, λm=K×1000Molarity=71.5×10-5×10005×10-3

=143Scm2mol-1=14.3mSm2mol-114mSm2mol-1

Hence, The molar conductivity of this solution is 14mSm2mol-1.
