Question

The van't Hoff factor i for a compound which undergoes dissociation in one solvent and association in other solvent is respectively

(a) less than one and greater than one

(b) less than one and less than one

(c) greater than one and less than one

(d) greater than one and greater than one.

Answer 1

Correct option (c) greater than one and less than one

Explanation :

From the value of van't Hoff factor i it is possible to determine the degree of dissociation or association. In case of dissociation, i is greater than 1 and in case of association i is less than 1.
