For a solution of `AlCl_(3)` in water, the Van't Hoff factor (i) is greater than `1`.

The Van't Hoff factor (i) accounts for

Define Van't Hoff's factor.

In association of solute, the Van't Hoff factor is greater than unity.

What is van't Hoff factor?

van't-Hoff factor (i) for this reaction is :

The electrolyte solutions show abnormal colligative porperties.To account for this effect we define a quantity called the Van't Hoff factor given by i=("Actual number of particles in solution after dissociation")/("Number of formula units initially dissolved in solution") i=1 ("for non-electrolytes") igt1 ("for electrolytes, undergoing dissociation") ilt1 ("for solutes, undergoing association") Answer the following questions: For a solution of a non-electrolyte in water, the Van't Hoff factor is

For electrolytic solution, the Van't Hoff factor (i) is always equals to unity.

For a non-electrolyte solution, the Van't Hoff factor is equal to
