Q20 / 125 · BITSAT 2012 · Chemistry

The van't Hoff factor i for an electrolyte which undergoes dissociation and association in solvents are respectively

A
greater than 1 and greater than 1
B
less than 1 and greater than 1
C
less than 1 and less than 1
Correct answer
D
greater than 1 and less than 1

Solution

When an electrolyte dissociates van't Hoff factor i is greater than 1 and when it associates the $\mathrm{i}$ is less than $1.$

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