The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Molar conductivity at infinite dilution.
At infinite dilution, the molar conductivities of the ionic compounds are related to their respective ions. The solubility product of BaSO\(_4\) can be derived from the molar conductivities at infinite dilution of BaCl\(_2\), HCl, and H\(_2\)SO\(_4\).
Step 2: Derivation of the solubility product.
For the dissociation of BaSO\(_4\), the ions produced are Ba\(^{2+}\) and SO\(_4^{2-}\). The relationship between the molar conductivity of the salt and the dissociation constants gives the solubility product. The given equation for the specific conductance \( K_{\text{BaSO}_4} = x \) allows us to compute the solubility product.
Step 3: Comparison with the options.
- (1) \(\left( \frac{x}{x_1 + x_3 - 2x_2} \right)^2 \times 10^6\) is the correct expression for the solubility product as derived from the given data and equations.
- Other options are incorrect as they do not match the derived formula for the solubility product.

Step 4: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
Final Answer: (A) \(\left( \frac{x}{x_1 + x_3 - 2x_2} \right)^2 \times 10^6 \)
