We are given:
• Concentration of the weak acid solution: mol L‑1
• Measured molar conductivity of this solution: S cm2 mol‑1
• Molar conductivity of the fully dissociated ions at infinite dilution:
= S cm2 mol‑1
= S cm2 mol‑1
For a monobasic weak acid HA, the limiting molar conductivity (when the acid is completely dissociated) is the sum of the ionic conductivities:
Insert the given values:
S cm2 mol‑1
The degree of dissociation (α) relates the observed molar conductivity (Λm) to the limiting value (Λ°) by:
Now substitute the measured conductivity and the calculated Λ°:
Carry out the division:
Therefore, the extent (degree) of dissociation of the weak acid solution is 0.225.
