(i) Let us consideran acid with Ka value 4 x 104 . We are calculating the degree of dissociation of that acid at two different concentration 1 x 10-2 M and 1 x 10-4 M using Ostwalds dilution law

(iv) i.e., when the dilution increases by 100 times (concentration decreases from 1 x 10-2 M to 1 x 10-4M), the dissociation increases by 10 times. 

(v) When dilution increases, the degree of dissociation of weak electrolyte also increase. (Ostwalsd’s dilution law).
