Correct answer: C

  1. Use Kohlrausch’s law of independent migration of ions

    At infinite dilution, Λm∞(electrolyte)=λ+∞+λ−∞\Lambda_m^\infty(\text{electrolyte})=\lambda_+^\infty+\lambda_-^\inftyΛm∞​(electrolyte)=λ+∞​+λ−∞​

    We need: ΛHOAc∞=λH+∞+λOAc−∞\Lambda_{\mathrm{HOAc}}^\infty = \lambda_{\mathrm{H^+}}^\infty + \lambda_{\mathrm{OAc^-}}^\inftyΛHOAc∞​=λH+∞​+λOAc−∞​

  2. Write the given molar conductances

    From the table: Λ∞(HCl)=λH+∞+λCl−∞=426.2\Lambda^\infty(\mathrm{HCl}) = \lambda_{\mathrm{H^+}}^\infty + \lambda_{\mathrm{Cl^-}}^\infty = 426.2Λ∞(HCl)=λH+∞​+λCl−∞​=426.2 Λ∞(NaOAc)=λNa+∞+λOAc−∞=91.0\Lambda^\infty(\mathrm{NaOAc}) = \lambda_{\mathrm{Na^+}}^\infty + \lambda_{\mathrm{OAc^-}}^\infty = 91.0Λ∞(NaOAc)=λNa+∞​+λOAc−∞​=91.0 Λ∞(NaCl)=λNa+∞+λCl−∞=126.5\Lambda^\infty(\mathrm{NaCl}) = \lambda_{\mathrm{Na^+}}^\infty + \lambda_{\mathrm{Cl^-}}^\infty = 126.5Λ∞(NaCl)=λNa+∞​+λCl−∞​=126.5

  3. Combine these to get Λ∞(HOAc)\Lambda^\infty(\mathrm{HOAc})Λ∞(HOAc)

    Add the first two equations and subtract the third: Λ∞(HCl)+Λ∞(NaOAc)−Λ∞(NaCl)\Lambda^\infty(\mathrm{HCl}) + \Lambda^\infty(\mathrm{NaOAc}) - \Lambda^\infty(\mathrm{NaCl})Λ∞(HCl)+Λ∞(NaOAc)−Λ∞(NaCl)

    Substituting: =(λH+∞+λCl−∞)+(λNa+∞+λOAc−∞)−(λNa+∞+λCl−∞)=(\lambda_{\mathrm{H^+}}^\infty + \lambda_{\mathrm{Cl^-}}^\infty) + (\lambda_{\mathrm{Na^+}}^\infty + \lambda_{\mathrm{OAc^-}}^\infty) - (\lambda_{\mathrm{Na^+}}^\infty + \lambda_{\mathrm{Cl^-}}^\infty)=(λH+∞​+λCl−∞​)+(λNa+∞​+λOAc−∞​)−(λNa+∞​+λCl−∞​)

    Cancelling common terms: =λH+∞+λOAc−∞= \lambda_{\mathrm{H^+}}^\infty + \lambda_{\mathrm{OAc^-}}^\infty=λH+∞​+λOAc−∞​

    Hence, Λ∞(HOAc)=426.2+91.0−126.5\Lambda^\infty(\mathrm{HOAc}) = 426.2 + 91.0 - 126.5Λ∞(HOAc)=426.2+91.0−126.5 =517.2−126.5= 517.2 - 126.5=517.2−126.5 =390.7= 390.7=390.7

  4. Match with options

    ΛHOAc∞=390.7\boxed{\Lambda_{\mathrm{HOAc}}^\infty = 390.7}ΛHOAc∞​=390.7​

    So, the correct option is C.
