Question

The van't Hoff factor $i$ for a dilute aqueous solution of sucrose is

• A. zero
• B. 1
• C. 1.5
• D. 2

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

1

Answer 2

The dilute aqueous solution of sucrose cannot associated or dissociated. Hence, van't Hoff factor '$i$' is one. $i=1$ (No association or dissociation) $i > 1$ (For dissociation) $i < 1$ (For association)
