The correct Answer is:
To find the molar conductivity of an electrolytic solution given the specific resistance (X) and the molarity (Y) of the solution, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - Specific resistance (X) is the resistance of the solution per unit volume. - Molarity (Y) is the concentration of the solution in moles per liter. 2. **Relate Specific Resistance to Specific Conductance**: - Specific conductance (K) is defined as the reciprocal of specific resistance. Therefore, we have: \[ K = \frac{1}{X} \] 3. **Use the Formula for Molar Conductivity**: - The formula for molar conductivity (Λm) is given by: \[ Λ_m = K \times \frac{1000}{Y} \] where K is the specific conductance and Y is the molarity of the solution. 4. **Substitute K into the Molar Conductivity Formula**: - Substitute the expression for K from step 2 into the molar conductivity formula: \[ Λ_m = \left(\frac{1}{X}\right) \times \frac{1000}{Y} \] 5. **Simplify the Expression**: - Simplifying the above expression gives: \[ Λ_m = \frac{1000}{XY} \] 6. **Final Result**: - Therefore, the molar conductivity of the solution is: \[ Λ_m = \frac{1000}{XY} \quad \text{(in } \text{S cm}^2 \text{mol}^{-1}\text{)} \] ### Conclusion: The molar conductivity of the solution is given by: \[ Λ_m = \frac{1000}{XY} \]
