NEET Chemistry Van't Hoff Factor MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12

Which of the following statements about the Van't Hoff factor (i) are correct?

A

For dissociation of solutes like NaCl, the Van't Hoff factor is greater than 1.

B

The Van't Hoff factor for a non-dissociating solute is always equal to its molarity.

C

The Van't Hoff factor for acetic acid in benzene is less than 1 due to dimerization.

D

Higher concentrations of KCl lead to a decrease in Van't Hoff factor values.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The Van't Hoff factor for dissociated solutes such as NaCl is greater than 1, indicating the increase in particle number. Acetic acid forms dimers in benzene, resulting in a Van't Hoff factor of less than 1. However, option B is incorrect as the factor is not always equal to molarity, and option D is misleading since higher concentrations typically yield a stable i value for KCl.
