The degree of dissociation of weak electrolyde is inversely proportional to the square root fo concentration. It is called Ostwald's dilution law.  `alpha = sqrt((K_(a))/(c))` As the tempertaure increases, degree of dissociation will increase.   `(alpha_(1))/(alpha_(2)) = sqrt((K_(a_(1)))/(K_(a_(2))))` if concentration is same.  `(alpha_(1))/(alpha_(2)) = sqrt((c_(2))/(c_(1)))` if acid is same.   `0.01M CH_(3)COOH` has `4.24%` degree of dissociation, the degree of dissociation of `0.1M CH_(3)COOH` will be
