At 298K, the limiting molar conductivity of a weak monobasic acid is 4×102S cm2mol−1. At 298K, for an aqueous solution of the acid the degree of dissociation is α and the molar conductivity is y×102S cm2mol−1. At 298K, upon 20 times dilution with water, the molar conductivity of the solution becomes 3y×102S cm2mol−1.
The value of y is:
