Question

How is vant hoff factor rekated to the degree of dissociation of electrolytes?

Answer 1

Answer:

For weak electrolytes, van't Hoff factor 'i' is a measure of the degree of dissociation of weak electrolyte. Higher is the value of the van't Hoff factor, higher will be the degree of dissociation.

Answer 2

Answer:

For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1. For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance. ... Ion pairing occurs to some extent in all electrolyte solutions.
