If 1 mol of solute produces 1.5 mol of effective particles in solution, what is the van’t Hoff factor i?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 1.5
The van’t Hoff factor is calculated as i = moles of effective particles in solution divided by moles of solute added. Here, the number of effective particles is 1.5 mol and the amount of solute added is 1 mol. Therefore, i = 1.5/1 = 1.5. The value greater than 1 indicates that the solute has produced additional particles, usually through dissociation.
