Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A solution of has a conductivity of . Write the conductivity in . Then find the molar conductivity, first in and then in .
The molar conductivity is . With in and in , in . With in , . A strong electrolyte follows . For a weak electrolyte, .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. S/m. .
Step 2. S cm²/mol. .
Step 3. S m²/mol. Divide by : .
Check in SI. .
Watch out. If you use in the formula with , the answer is times too large.
Answer: , and .
