How does the degree of ionization (assuming lt lt 1)` of a weak electroyte vary with concentration ? Give exact relationship.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`alpha=sqrt(K_(a)//C) or alpha prop 1//sqrt(C)`, i.e., degree of dissociation is inversely proportional to the square root of molar concentration of the solution.
