Wilhelm Ostwald’s dilution law is a relationship proposed in 1888 between the dissociation constant Kd and the degree of dissociation α of a weak electrolyte. The law takes the form K d = [ A + ] [ B − ] [ AB ] = α 2 1 − α ⋅ c 0 {\displaystyle K_{d}={\cfrac {{\ce {[A+] [B^{-}]}}}{{\ce {[AB]}}}}={\frac {\alpha ^{2}}{1-\alpha }}\cdot c_{0}} Where the square brackets denote concentration, and c0 is the total concentration of electrolyte.
