Solution

For UmYp; λM=250S cm2mol1,For VmXn; λM=440S cm2mol1,

λM(UmYp)=m×25+p(100)=250
25m+100p=250 ....(i)

λM(VmXn)=m×100+ n×80=440 ....(ii)

We know that;
λM=λM - bc
From graph:
339=λM - 0.01 b ..... (iii)
336=λM - 0.04 b ...... (iv)

From eqns (iii) and (iv) we get, λM = 340 Scm2mol1
This could also be inferred by observing the graph directly.

λM(ZmXn)=m×50+n×80=340 ...(v)

From equation (ii) & (v) m=2 & n = 3
and from equation (i) p = 2.

So
(m+n+p) = 7
