Van’t Hoff Factor
For a solute that dissociates in the solution its properties changes by a factor and this factor is called the Von’t Hoff Factor. Von’t Hoff Factor is denoted using(i). It is calculated as,
- i = (Observed Colligative Properties)/(Theoretical Colligative Properties)
- i = (No. of Particles after Dissociation Or Association)/(No. of Particles is case of no Dissociation Or Association)
Colligative Properties
Colligative Properties of any solution is the property of the solution that depends on the ratio of the total number of solute particles and the total number of solvent particles. Changing the moles or number of particles of solute or solvent changes the colligative properties of the solution. These colligative properties are not dependent on the chemical nature of the solute or solvent but are rather dependent on the number of solutes and solvent particles in the solution. These colligative properties depend on the number of particles in the solution rather than the nature of the solute and the solvent. These properties can be easily linked with the concentration of the solution, i.e. Molarity, Normality, and Molality.
In this article, we will learn about, various types of Colligative properties of the solution, their examples, and others in detail.
