When a certain conductance cell was filled with 0.1 M KCl, it has a resistance of 85 ohm at 25°C. When the same cell was filled with an aqueous solution of 0.052 M unknown electrolyte, the resistance was 96 ohms. Calculate the molar conductance of the electrolyte at this concentration. [Specific conductance of 0.1 M KCl = 1.29 × 10⁻² ohm⁻¹ cm⁻¹]
