ostwald's dilution law

Question

According to Ostwald's dilution law, the degree of dissociation of a weak electrolyte is:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

**Ostwald's Dilution Law** explains the behavior of weak electrolytes in solution.
- Formula: $\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_a}{C}}$ (valid for low ionization).
- Here, $\alpha$ is the degree of dissociation and $C$ is molarity.
- The law states that the degree of dissociation is **inversely proportional** to the square root of the concentration.
- This means that as the solution is diluted (concentration decreases), the degree of dissociation increases, reaching $100\%$ at infinite dilution.
