Explain degree of dissociation....

Explain degree of dissociation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The fraction of number of moles dissociated at equilibrium to the total number of moles present initially is called degree of dissociation (or) degree of ionisation, represented by `alpha`.
`thereforealpha=("Number of moles dissociated at equilibrium")/("Total number of moles originally present")`
