A standard aqueous solution of a weak acid HX has a pH of 5 and shows a conductance of 4×10–5 S when placed in a conductivity cell with electrode separation of 15 cm and cross-sectional area of 1 cm².

Assuming that the degree of dissociation of HX is very small, calculate the limiting molar conductivity of the solution (in Sm2mol-1).
