Question

Write a note on Abnormal molecular weight and Vant Hoff’s factor.

Answer 1

hi

o understand the abnormal molar masses, first, we need to understand the total number of particles left either after the association or dissociation of the solute molecules present in a solution or a solvent. To study and understand more about more about the abnormalities, Dutch chemist Van’t Hoff, discovered (i), which is known as the Van’t Hoff’s factor.

This factor represents the extension of dissociation or association of a solute. This factor alone accounts for all the abnormalities in the molar mass. We will study about the Van’t Hoff’s factor later on, but first, we need to know about the association and dissociation of the solute particles.
