Question

Acetic acid is 30% dissociated, 40% associated and the rest remains as it is.Then find the i factor.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) When acetic acid dissolves in water, it dissociates into CH3COO negative

and H  positive ions and thus the Van't Hoff factor is greater than 1.

(ii) Acetic acid dimerizes when dissolved in benzene and thus the Van't Hoff factor is less than 1
