Question

The degree of association is defined as the ______ of total number of ______ of solute which undergoes ______ in solution.

Answer 1

The degree of association is defined as the fraction of total number of moles of solute which undergoes association in solution.

Explanation:

Degree of association (usually denoted by α) measures how much of the solute has combined to form larger particles (like dimers or trimers). It is expressed as a fraction or percentage of the original number of moles that actually associate. For example, if 0.4 out of 1 mole of a solute associates, then α = 0.4.
