Solution

The correct option is B 139.5
Equivalent conductance is defined as conducting power of all the ions produced by one gram equivalent of electrolyte.

The equivalent weight of

BaCl2=molecular weight2

λm for BaCl2=λm(Ba2+)+2λm(Cl)

λeq for BaCl2=12λm(Ba2+)+λm(Cl)

=1272+76

=139.5 ohm1cm2eq1

The correct answer is =139.5 ohm1cm2eq1

Hence, the correct option is B.
