At 298 ~K , the limiting molar conductivity of a weak monobasic acid is 4 10^ 2 ~S ~cm ^ 2 ~mol ^ -1 . At 298 ~K , for an aqueous solution of the acid the degree of dissociation is and the molar conductivity is y 10^ 2 ~S ~cm ^ 2 ~mol ^ -1 . At 298 ~K , upon 20 times dilution with water, the molar conductivity of the solution becomes 3 y 10^ 2 ~S ~cm ^ 2 ~mol ^ -1 The value of α is _______ .
