State Ostwald's dilution law.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When dilution increases, the degree of dissociation of weak electrolyte also increases. The mathematical form is
`alpha=sqrt((K_(a))/(C ))`
where `.alpha.` is the degree of dissociation, `K_(a)` is the dissociation constant of the acid and `.C.` is its concentration.
