Formula and explanation
Formula: α = (Number of ionized electrolyte molecules)/(Total number of original electrolyte molecules) × 100% or α = (c(ion))/(c(original)). Applicable conditions: Weak electrolyte solutions. Description: The degree of ionization (α) indicates the extent to which a weak electrolyte ionizes in solution, usually expressed as a percentage.
