In the case of CH3COOH, which is a weak electrolyte, the number of ions increase on dilution due to an increase in degree of dissociation.
CH3COOH + H2O ⇌ CH3COO--(aq.) + H3O+
In the case of strong electrolyte such as CH3COONa, the number of ions remains the same but the interionic attraction decreases.
CH3COOH + H2O ⇌ CH3COO--(aq.) + H3O+
In the case of strong electrolyte such as CH3COONa, the number of ions remains the same but the interionic attraction decreases.
