For a concentrated solution of a weak electrolyte ( equilibrium constant) of concentration '', the degree of dissociation '' is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Write the dissociation equilibrium
For the weak electrolyte
Let the initial concentration of be and degree of dissociation be .
Then at equilibrium:
- Write the equilibrium constant expression
By law of mass action,
Substitute the equilibrium concentrations:
- Simplify
First compute the numerical factor:
And powers of and :
- Use the condition for a concentrated solution of a weak electrolyte
Since it is a weak electrolyte, dissociation is small: So,
Hence,
- Solve for
Therefore,
- Compare with options
This matches Option B.
Final Answer: So the correct option is B.
