Solution

The solution with the highest conductivity at 298 K would be the 0.1 M HCl solution.

Here's why:

  1. Conductivity of a solution depends on the number of ions present in the solution. The more ions there are, the higher the conductivity.

  2. HCl is a strong acid, which means it completely ionizes in solution. This means that a 0.1 M HCl solution will have more ions than a 0.01 M HCl solution.

  3. CH3COOH, on the other hand, is a weak acid and does not completely ionize in solution. This means that even at higher concentrations, there will be fewer ions present than in a solution of a strong acid at the same concentration.

  4. Therefore, out of the given options, the 0.1 M HCl solution will have the highest conductivity at 298 K.
