0.9

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

0.5


Solution :

The correct option is 0.5.

To find the degree of dissociation (represented by α), we use the relation between the molar conductivity of an electrolyte at a given concentration (Λc) and its limiting molar conductivity (Λ0).

The formula for the degree of dissociation is given by:

α = Λc Λ0

From the given data:
Molar conductivity at concentration C, Λc=24.14
Limiting molar conductivity, Λ0=48.28

Substituting these values into the formula:

α = 24.14 48.28

Simplifying the fraction:

α = 0.5

Therefore, the degree of dissociation of the electrolyte X is 0.5.
