The conductivity of 0.01 M acetic acid is 1.65 × 10^-4 S/cm. Calculate the degree of dissociation (α).
Q1. The conductivity of 0.01 M acetic acid is 1.65 × 10^-4 S/cm. Calculate the degree of dissociation (α).
Answer: 0.016
Explanation: Degree of dissociation (α) = (molar conductivity at given concentration) / (limiting molar conductivity), but here we directly relate it to conductivity and concentration.
