Define degree of dissociation.

1.	Define degree of dissociation.
Answer» Degree of dissocsavIt is defined as a fraction of total number of moles of an electrolyte that dissociate into its ions at equilibrium. It is denoted by a and represented by, α = \(\frac{number\,of\,moles\,dissociated}{total\,number\,of\,moles\,an\,electrolyte}\) OR, α = \(\frac{Percent\,dissociation}{100}\) ∴ Percent dissociation = α × 100

Answer»

Degree of dissocsavIt is defined as a fraction of total number of moles of an electrolyte that dissociate into its ions at equilibrium.

It is denoted by a and represented by,

α = \(\frac{number\,of\,moles\,dissociated}{total\,number\,of\,moles\,an\,electrolyte}\)

OR,

α = \(\frac{Percent\,dissociation}{100}\)

∴ Percent dissociation = α × 100
