Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

          Molarity = 0.1 M,             Area = 7.2 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

          Resistance = 12.553 ohm,      Length = 3.6 cm

As it is known that relation between resistance, length and area is as follows.

                    R = [tex]\rho \frac{l}{A}[/tex]

and,       [tex]\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{\rho} \times \frac{A}{l}[/tex]  

                      [tex]k = c \times x[/tex]

where,     k = specific conductivity

               c = conductance

                x = cell constant

Therefore, value of c = [tex]\frac{1}{R}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{12.553}[/tex] = 0.0796 per ohm

             x = [tex]\frac{l}{A}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3.6 cm}{7.2 cm^{2}}[/tex]

                           = 0.5 per cm

Hence, calculate the value of specific conductivity as follows.

                 [tex]k = c \times x[/tex]

                          = [tex]0.0796 per ohm \times 0.5 per cm[/tex]

                          = 0.0398 per ohm per cm

Relation between molar  ionic conductivity and specific conductivity is as follows.

             [tex]\lambda_{m} = \frac{k \times 1000}{M}[/tex]

                          = [tex]\frac{0.0398 \text{per ohm per cm} \times 1000}{0.1 M}[/tex]

                          = 398 [tex]\Omega^{-1} cm^{2} mol^{-1}[/tex]

Also, [tex]\Omega^{-1}[/tex] = Siemen

                [tex]\lambda_{m} = 398 S cm^{2} mol^{-1}[/tex]

thus, we can conclude that value of molar ionic conductivity of given hydrogen ions is [tex]398 S cm^{2} mol^{-1}[/tex].
