Can anyone please explain me the dissociation of AlCl3 in terms of alpha and 1- (alpha) that is by ostwalds dilution law?
THANKS

Very bad example. AlCl
3
in water hardly hydrolyses instead of dissociation.
In non-protonizing solvents it forms complexes instead of dissociation. There a a few salts that in water, in fact, dissociate partially, eg: CdCl
2
or HgCl
2
but even then the formation of complexes are impotrant part of problem

Technically Ostwald dilution law doesn't deal with multi step dissociation, so it can't be applied here.
