what are the factors affecting the value of degree of ionisation? Explain in detail.....
Answers
Explanation:
Factors affecting Degree of Ionisation
(i) At normal dilution, value of is nearly 1 for strong electrolytes, while it is very less than 1 for weak electrolytes. (ii) Higher the dielectric constant of a solvent more is its ionising power. Water is the most powerful ionising solvent as its dielectric constant is highest

what are the factors affecting the value of degree of ionization? explain in detail.....
ANSWER⤵
(1.) Temperature↔ on temperature increase, ionization increases and then alpha also increases. (because dissociation is endothermic reaction).
(2.) Dilution↔On Dilution increase, alpha also increases.
(3.) Nature of electrolyte↔
(i.) Strong electrolyte::- alpha is 100%
(ii.) Weak electrolyte::- alpha is smaller than 100%
(4.) Nature of solvent↔ If dielectric constant(mu) of solvent increases then the value of alpha increases.
(5.) Mixing of ions↔
(a.) Common ion effect
(b.) odd ion effect.
