The van’t Hoff factor for a solute that associates in solution is
Options
(a) zero
(b) 1
(c) less than 1
(d) more than 1
Correct Answer:
less than 1
Explanation:
Since the solute undergoes association, hence the value of observed colligative property will be less than calculated one. Hence van’t Hoff factor will be less than 1.
