When an electrolyte is dissociated in solution, the van't Hoff's factor (i) is,
Options
- A( > 1 )
- B( < 1 )
- C( = 0 )
- D(= 1 )
Correct answer
A. ( > 1 )
Step-by-step solution
Dissociation of the solute molecules into different ionic or molecular entities will increase the number of entities in the solution for example; inorganic salts, acids and base dissociate in aqueous solution based or their charge. Therefore, in case of dissociation of solute molecules, their molecular mass is less thus, ( i ) is greater than ( 1 ).
