Q4 / 180 · KCET 2016 · Chemistry
When an electrolyte is dissociated in solution, the van't Hoff's factor (i) is,
- Correct answerA\( > 1 \)
- B\( < 1 \)
- C\( = 0 \)
- D\(= 1 \)
Solution
Dissociation of the solute molecules into different ionic or molecular entities will increase the number of entities in the
solution for example; inorganic salts, acids and base dissociate in aqueous solution based or their charge. Therefore, in
case of dissociation of solute molecules, their molecular mass is less thus, \( i \) is greater than \( 1 \).

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