At $25^{\circ} C$,the molar conductance at infinite dilution for the strong electrolytes $NaOH$,$NaCl$ and $BaCl_{2}$ are $248 \times 10^{-4}$,$126 \times 10^{-4}$ and $280 \times 10^{-4} \ S \ m^{2} \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. $\lambda_{m}^{o} Ba(OH)_{2}$ in $S \ m^{2} \ mol^{-1}$ is

Assertion : For the Daniel cell,$Zn|Zn^{2+} || Cu^{2+}|Cu$ with $E_{cell} = 1.1 \ V$,the application of an opposite potential greater than $1.1 \ V$ results in the flow of electrons from cathode to anode.
Reason : $Zn$ is deposited at the anode,and $Cu$ is deposited at the cathode.
