The degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ of a weak electrolyte,$A_xB_y$ is related to van't Hoff factor $(i)$ by the expression

  • A
    $\alpha = \frac{i - 1}{x + y - 1}$
  • B
    $\alpha = \frac{i - 1}{x + y + 1}$
  • C
    $\alpha = \frac{x + y - 1}{i - 1}$
  • D
    $\alpha = \frac{x + y + 1}{i - 1}$
