Relationship between van’t Hoff’s factor (i) and degree of dissociation α is

  • A
    i=α-1n'-1
  • B
    i=α-11-n'
  • C
    α=1-in'-1
  • Correct answer
    D
    α=i-1n'-1

Solution

Relationship between vant Hoff factor (i) and degree of dissociation α is given by
α=1-in'-1
Where, n is the number of ions formed after dissociation. The relationship can be obtained as follows: For the reaction, A⇌n'B
Initially 1 mole 0
After dissociation 1-α mole n’ α
Total number of moles present in the solution
=1-α+n'α=1+n'-1α
Van’t Hoff factor, i=1+n'-1,α> 1 if n'≥2
∴                α=i-1n'-1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
