Question

What happens when the temperature of a solution of a weak electrolyte increases?

Answer 1

Weak electrolyte:

• A weak electrolyte is an electrolyte that permits a little amount of electricity to pass through it while remaining largely dissociated in a fused or aqueous solution.
• An example of a weak electrolyte is acetic acid$\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}\right)$.

Effect of temperature on weak electrolyte

• With an increase in temperature of the solution of weak electrolytes, the degree of dissociation increases.
• Due to the increase in the degree of dissociation, van't hoff factor will also increase.
• Due to the increase in the degree of dissociation, conductance will also increase.
