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.
