The correct answer is: 390.5 S cm2mol1

For KBr :-

λKBr= λK+ + λBr-120.5=λK+ + λBr-

For HBr :-

λHBr= λH+ + λBr-420.6= λH+ + λBr-

For KNH2 :-

λKNH2= λK+ + λNH2-90.48=λK+ +  λNH2-

For, NaNO3:-

λNH3= λH+ + λNH2-=λKNH2+λHBr-λKBr=90.48+420.6-120.5=390.5

Hence, molar conductivity of NH3 would be  390.5 S.cm2·mol-1.
