Ostwald’s dilution law is applicable to only

Options

(a) strong electrolytes
(b) solute
(c) weak electrolytes
(d) solvent

Correct Answer:

weak electrolytes

Explanation:

According to Ostwald’s dilution law, the degree of dissociation of a weak electrolyte is proportional to the square root of dilution. α = √K/C. α = degree of dissociation, C = concentration, K = Equilibrium constant(dissociation).
