Vedclass · Answer

(A) Ostwald's dilution law is derived based on the assumption of an equilibrium between the undissociated molecules and the ions of a weak electrolyte,represented as $AB \rightleftharpoons A^+ + B^-$. For strong electrolytes,the dissociation is essentially complete at all concentrations,meaning the degree of dissociation $\alpha \approx 1$. Since there is no significant equilibrium between the undissociated solute and its ions,the law of mass action cannot be applied in the same way as it is for weak electrolytes.

Ostwald's dilution law is not applicable to strong electrolytes because ....
