The degree of dissociation of weak electrolyte increases as
Correct answer: C. Dilution increases
- A. Pressure increases
- B. Dilution decreases
- C. Dilution increases
- D. None
Explanation
As a weak electrolyte gets more diluted (i.e., when more solvent is added to the solution), the concentration of ions produced by its dissociation becomes relatively lower compared to the overall volume.This decrease in the concentration of ions leads to the weak electrolyte dissociating to a greater extent to maintain equilibrium, resulting in a higher degree of dissociation.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
