The correct answer is: 39.05Scm2mol-1
Key Idea kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions can be used to calculate Δmo for weak electrolyte such as acetic acid.
Given, Δm(NaAC)o=91Scm2mol-1
Δm(HCI)o=425.9Scm2mol-1
Δm(NaCl)o=126.4Scm2mol-1
Using Kohlrausch law, to find the molar conductivity of acetic acid.
Δm(HAC)o=λH+o+λAC-o
=λH+o+λCl-o+λAC-o+λNa+o-λCl-o-λNa+o
=Δm(HCI)o+Δm(NaAC)o-Δm(NaCl)o
=(425.9+91.0-126.4)Scm2mol-1
=390.5Scm2mol-1
