The correct answer is: $3.9 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$\begin{aligned} \Lambda_{\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{ClCOOH}}^{\circ} & =\Lambda_{\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{ClCOOK}}^{\circ}+\Lambda_{\mathrm{HCl}}^{\circ}-\Lambda_{\mathrm{KCl}}^{\circ} \\ \Lambda_{\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{ClCOOH}}^{\circ} & =1.1+4.2-1.4 \\ & =3.9 \Omega^{-1} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\end{aligned}$
