Detailed Solution

The limiting molar conductivity mo  for strong and weak electrolyte can be determined by using Kohlrausch's law which states that "the limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte can be represented as the sum of the individual contributions of the anion and cation of the electrolyte."

CH3COONa=CH3COO-+ Na+

91Scm2mol1=CH3COO+50.1Scm2mol1

CH3COO-=40.9Scm2mol1

For acetic acid,

CH3COOH=CH3COO-+H+                  =40.9Scm2mol1+349.6Scm2mol-1                    =390.5Scm2mol-1
