Question
If α is the degree of ionization, C the concentration of a weak electrolyte and Ka the acid ionization constant, then the correct relationship between α, C and Ka  is
Options:
A .  α2 = √Ka × C.
B .  α2 = √CKa
C .  α = √KaC
D .  α = √CKa
Answer: Option C
:
C
According to the Ostwald's dilution formula α2Ka(1α)C. But for weak
electrolytes αis very small. So that (1α) can be taken as 1. So that α=KaC.
