Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the van 't Hoff factor (i) for NaCl in solution?
  • Step 1: Understand that NaCl is a salt that dissolves in water.
  • Step 2: When NaCl dissolves, it breaks apart into two separate ions: one sodium ion (Na+) and one chloride ion (Cl-).
  • Step 3: Count the number of particles (ions) produced when NaCl dissolves. In this case, there are 2 particles: Na+ and Cl-.
  • Step 4: The van 't Hoff factor (i) is the number of particles produced in solution. Since NaCl produces 2 ions, i = 2.
