Explanation:

Ostwald Dilution Law. “Degree of dissociation of weak electrolyte is directly proportional to square root of dilution.” This law is not applicable for strong electrolytes because strong electrolytes completely ionize at all dilution.

Ostwald dilution law is not applicable to strong electrolytes but is valid for weak electrolytes.

Explanation:

  • Ostwald's dilution law is a relationship proposed by Wilhelm Ostwald in 1886
  • This law deals with the dissociation constant of weak electrolytes with a degree of dissociation α and the concentration of weak electrolytes.
  • According to this law " At infinite dilution, weak electrolyte will undergo ionization "
  • K=cα² where c is the concentration of any ion
  • K is the dissociation constant of a weak acid
  • α= degree of dissociation
  • According to ostwalds law, a weak electrolyte undergoes complete ionisation at infinite dilution.
