Why degree of dissociation of electrolyte increase with dilution?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
these electrolytes will dissociate a lot less compared to the dissociation of strong electrolytes. This is due to the fact that they don't completely ionize in a moderately solution.

The degree of dissociation of an electrolyte increases with dilution because there are more solvent molecules available to surround and separate the ions in the solution. This reduces the chances of the ions recombining, leading to a higher degree of dissociation. Additionally, the weaker interactions between solvent molecules and ions in a diluted solution also contribute to higher dissociation.

Is HCN a strong or weak electrolyte?
HCN is a weak electrolyte. Although it partially dissociates into H+ and CN- ions in solution, the degree of dissociation is relatively low compared to strong electrolytes like strong acids or bases.
Is the degree of ionisation affected by dilution?
The degree of ionization of an acid or base is not affected by dilution. Dilution simply increases the volume of the solution but does not change the proportion of ions present. The concentration of ions remains the same, so the degree of ionization remains constant.
Why is methanol strong electrolyte?
Methanol is not an electrolyte. It is a molecule compound and only ionizes to a negligible degree in water.
What is specific gravity of caustic soda?
It depends on the solution's degree of concentration or dilution.
Which is smaller increase in temperature a 5 Fahrenheit increase or a 5 Celsius increase?
A 5 Celsius increase is smaller than a 5 Fahrenheit increase. This is because each Celsius degree is larger than each Fahrenheit degree.
Does heat make acids stronger?
In general, increasing temperature can speed up the reaction rate of acids, which may make them appear stronger. However, heat does not directly make acids stronger in terms of their acidity (as measured by pH) because acidity is an intrinsic property of the acid itself, not dependent on temperature.
Is the degree of ionisation affected by dilution?
The degree of ionization of an acid or base is not affected by dilution. Dilution simply increases the volume of the solution but does not change the proportion of ions present. The concentration of ions remains the same, so the degree of ionization remains constant.
Could anyone possibly tell me the connection between degree of ionization and electrolyte and non-electrolytic?
Start with definitions:Electrolyte will conduct an electric current and is ionized/dissociated in solutionNon electroylte will not conduct an electric current and is not ionized in solutionThen there are strong and weak electrolytes. Strong electrolytes (like HCl, or NaCl, etc) ionize COMPLETELY in solution and thus are excellent conductors of currentWeak electrolytes (such as acetic acid) do NOT ionize completely and thus are less effective in conducting an electric current.So, the greater the degree of ionization, the stronger electrolyte it will be.

How does ethanol reduce pH?
the ethanol does not show sufficient effect on PH value.... but carboxylic acids dissolved in water show increase in degree of dissociation in presense of small amount of ethanol therefore the PH value may show slight decrease....
Which is smaller increase in temperature a 5 Fahrenheit increase or a 5 Celsius increase?
A 5 Celsius increase is smaller than a 5 Fahrenheit increase. This is because each Celsius degree is larger than each Fahrenheit degree.
Why is the symbol k used for interest?
Symbol K(k) in science:K is potassium or Kelvin degree or dissociation constant or kilo, etc.
What is molecular dissociation?
Dissociation is the process by which ions separate when an ionic solid dissolves in a solvent. The compound is simply broken down into its elements when reacted with a solvent.For example, if you have the compound AB, it could be broken down into A + BAB ----> A + BYou could also take the example of dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) dissociating to nitrogen dioxide (NO2)N2O4 ----> 2 NO2which is the same as writingN2O4 ----> NO2 + NO2so you can see how N2O4 was broken down into smaller parts
Is a temperature increase of 1 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to a temperature increase of 59 degree Celsius correct or false?
correct
How are celsius and kelvin alike?
A 1 degree increase in either is the same increase in the amount of thermodynamic temperature. In layman's terms, a 1 degree increase in either feels the same.
What is the meaning of points of a degree?
There are 360 points in the degree. So the points of a degree increase when the angle increases!
