Correct answer: D

  1. For a strong electrolyte, the molar conductivity follows:

Λm=Λm0−Kc\Lambda_m = \Lambda_m^0 - K\sqrt{c}Λm​=Λm0​−Kc​

So, in a plot of Λm\Lambda_mΛm​ vs. c\sqrt{c}c​, the slope is −K-K−K.

  1. Therefore, the unit of slope is:

unit of slope=unit of Λmunit of c\text{unit of slope} = \frac{\text{unit of }\Lambda_m}{\text{unit of }\sqrt{c}}unit of slope=unit of c​unit of Λm​​

  1. Unit of molar conductivity Λm\Lambda_mΛm​:

Λm:S cm2 mol−1\Lambda_m : \mathrm{S\,cm^2\,mol^{-1}}Λm​:Scm2mol−1

  1. Unit of concentration ccc:

c:mol L−1c : \mathrm{mol\,L^{-1}}c:molL−1

Hence,

c:(mol L−1)1/2=mol1/2L−1/2\sqrt{c} : (\mathrm{mol\,L^{-1}})^{1/2} = \mathrm{mol^{1/2}L^{-1/2}}c​:(molL−1)1/2=mol1/2L−1/2

  1. Now divide:

unit of slope=S cm2 mol−1mol1/2L−1/2\text{unit of slope} = \frac{\mathrm{S\,cm^2\,mol^{-1}}}{\mathrm{mol^{1/2}L^{-1/2}}}unit of slope=mol1/2L−1/2Scm2mol−1​

=S cm2 mol−1⋅mol−1/2⋅L1/2= \mathrm{S\,cm^2\,mol^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1/2} \cdot L^{1/2}}=Scm2mol−1⋅mol−1/2⋅L1/2

=S cm2 mol−3/2L1/2= \mathrm{S\,cm^2\,mol^{-3/2}L^{1/2}}=Scm2mol−3/2L1/2

  1. Comparing with the options:
  • A: Incorrect
  • B: Incorrect
  • C: Incorrect
  • D: Correct

Therefore, the correct answer is:

S cm2 mol−3/2L1/2\boxed{\mathrm{S\,cm^2\,mol^{-3/2}L^{1/2}}}Scm2mol−3/2L1/2​

So, option D\boxed{D}D​ is correct.
