Q. The van't Hoff factor i for a compound which undergoes dissociation in one solvent and association in other solvent is respectively
A) Greater than one and greater than one
B) Less than one and greater than one
C) Less than one and less than one
D) Greater than one and less than one
Explanation
[Solution from source] Dissociation increases the number of solute particles, so i > 1; association decreases it, so i < 1. Reversing these is the trap. Answer (4).
