The values of Van’t Hoff factors for KCl, NaCl and K 2 SO 4 , respectively, are _____________.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The van’t Hoff factor is:

i = Total number of ions after dissociation/association/Total number of ions before dissociation/association.

Thus, for KCl, van’t Hoff factor = 2,

for NaCl van’t Hoff factor is 2 and

for K₂SO₄ van’t Hoff factor is 3.

Thus, Option 2 is the correct answer.
