Solutions -Very Short Questions and Answers
Q1: What is Van’t Hoff factor ?
Answer: It is the ratio of normal molecular mass to observed molecular mass. It is denoted
as i.
i = normal molecular mass/observed molecular mass
= no. of particles after association or dissociation/no. of particles before
Q2: What is the Van’t Hoff factor in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] and BaCl₂ ?
Answer: 5 and 3
Q3: Why the molecular mass becomes abnormal ?
Answer: It is due to association or dissociation of solute in given solvent.
Q4: Define molarity. How it is related with normality ?
Answer: N = M ✕ Basicity or acidity
