Question

When an electrolyte is dissociated in solution, the van't Hoff factor $(i)$ is,

• A.

  1

• B. < 1
• C. 0
• D. 1

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

1

Answer 2

When an electrolyte dissociates in a solution, number of particles increases and

van't Hoff factor (i)

$=\frac{\text { number of particles after dissociation }}{\text { number of particles taken }}$
$\therefore i>\,1$ for dissociation
