Question

Select the correct statement. a) For association of a solute, i = 1 b) For complete dissociation of K2SO4, i = 2 c)For urea solution i = 1 d)For dissociation of solute, i = 1

Answer 1

Explanation:

Option (A) is correct. Explanation is the correct reason for the statement.

The van't Hoff factor, symbol i expresses how may ions and particles are formed (on an average) in a solution from one formula unit of solute.

When solute particles dissociate in solution, i is greater than 1 and when solute particles associate in solution, i is less than
