Wilhelm Ostwald’s dilution law is a relationship proposed in 1888 [1] between the dissociation constant K d and the degree of dissociation α of a weak electrolyte.The law takes the form [2]
Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald (German: [ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈɔstˌvalt] ⓘ; 2 September [O.S. 21 August] 1853 – 4 April 1932) was a German chemist and philosopher.Ostwald is credited with being one of the founders of the field of physical chemistry, with Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff, Walther Nernst and Svante Arrhenius.

In materials science, Ostwald's rule or Ostwald's step rule, conceived by Wilhelm Ostwald, [1] describes the formation of polymorphs. The rule states that usually the less stable polymorph crystallizes first. [2] Ostwald's rule is not a universal law but a common tendency observed in nature. [3]
Ostwald's dilution law, Ostwald process – Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald; Overhauser effect – Albert Overhauser;
Ostwald's law of dilution, which gives the dissociation constant of a weak electrolyte as a function of concentration, can be written in terms of molar conductivity. Thus, the p K a values of acids can be calculated by measuring the molar conductivity and extrapolating to zero concentration.
Ostwald ripening is a phenomenon observed in solid solutions and liquid sols that involves the change of an inhomogeneous structure over time, in that small crystals or sol particles first dissolve and then redeposit onto larger crystals or sol particles.
