Detailed Solution

Equivalent conductivity of 1 x 10-3 N HA solution (AM) = k/ normality.
λc = 4.9x10-5  x1000 1 x 10-3 = 49 S cm2 eq-1
Equivalent conductance at infinite dilution (A0 ) = 390 S cm2 wq-1 
Extent of dissociation = α = λcλ0= 49390 = .126
Dissociation constant of acid = Cα2 = 1 x 10 -3(0.126)2 = 1.5 x 10-5mol L-1
