Question

In a debate, a student said “Electrolytes dissolved in water dissociate into constituent ions”. His friend supported this statement and said “The degree of dissociation of an electrolyte increase with the increasing concentration of the electrolyte.”

1. Do you agree with these statements? 

2. If you agree or not, give the reason.

Answer 1

1. The first statement is correct, but the second statement is wrong.

2. Degree of dissociation of an electrolyte increases with dilution and not by increasing the concentration.
