Question

Which of the following statements is correct?
Dielectric constant of H2O2
a) increases with dilution
b) decreases with dilution
c) is unaffected on dilution
d) none of the above

Answer 1

Given:  Dielectric constant of H₂O₂                                

To find:

 What happens to dielectric constant of H₂O₂ on dilution?

     

Dielectric constant of H₂O₂ increase with dilution because the electrostatic forces of attraction between the ions are weakened when it is diluted and as a result, the ions begin to move freely and there is an increase in the conductance of the solution.

   Therefore, dielectric constant of H₂O₂ increases with dilution.
