Step-by-step solution

The conductivity (specific conductance), κ\kappa, is given by the product of conductance and cell constant:

κ=G×G∗\kappa = G \times G^*

κ=1.9×10−3 S×1.3 cm−1=2.47×10−3 S cm−1\kappa = 1.9 \times 10^{-3} \text{ S} \times 1.3 \text{ cm}^{-1} = 2.47 \times 10^{-3} \text{ S cm}^{-1}

The molar conductivity, Λm\Lambda_m, is related to the conductivity and molarity CC by the formula:

Λm=κ×1000C\Lambda_m = \dfrac{\kappa \times 1000}{C}

Substituting the given values:

123.5=2.47×10−3×1000C123.5 = \dfrac{2.47 \times 10^{-3} \times 1000}{C}

123.5=2.47C123.5 = \dfrac{2.47}{C}

C=2.47123.5=0.02 mol L−1C = \dfrac{2.47}{123.5} = 0.02 \text{ mol L}^{-1}

Molarity CC can also be expressed in terms of mass percentage xx (w/w), density dd, and molar mass MM:

C=x×d×10MC = \dfrac{x \times d \times 10}{M}

Substituting the known values (d=1.0 g mL−1d = 1.0 \text{ g mL}^{-1}, M=75 g mol−1M = 75 \text{ g mol}^{-1}):

0.02=x×1.0×10750.02 = \dfrac{x \times 1.0 \times 10}{75}

1.5=10x1.5 = 10x

x=0.15x = 0.15

Expressing xx in the required format:

x=15×10−2x = 15 \times 10^{-2}

The value is 1515.
