Solution:

The degree of ionization (also known as ionization yield in the literature) refers to the proportion of neutral particles, such as those in a gas or aqueous solution, that are ionized. It can be calculated using conductance data as follows,
$\alpha =\frac{molar conductance}{limiting molar conductance}=\frac{50}{250}=0.2$
