Question 49

Q49Short answer

Why on dilution the Λ m of CH3COOH increases drastically, while that of CH3COONa increases gradually?

Show answer

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 + H3O In the case of strong electrolyte the number of ions remains the same but the interionic attraction decreases. IV. Matching Type
