The degree of dissociation of a weak electrolyte can be determined by measuring:
The electrical conductivity of the solution
The freezing point depression of the solution
The boiling point elevation of the solution
The osmotic pressure of the solution
The degree of dissociation of a weak electrolyte can be determined by measuring the electrical conductivity of the solution. This is because the electrical conductivity of a solution depends on the concentration of ions present in the solution. A weak electrolyte only partially dissociates, which means that there are fewer ions in solution compared to a strong electrolyte. Therefore, the electrical conductivity of a solution containing a weak electrolyte will be lower than that of a solution containing a strong electrolyte. By measuring the electrical conductivity of the solution and comparing it with the electrical conductivity of a solution of known concentration of the same electrolyte, the degree of dissociation can be determined.
