Chapter 11, Problem 11.55QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The theoretical value of van’t Hoff factor for ${\text{CH}}_3\text{OH}$, $\text{NaBr}$ and ${\text{K}}_2{\text{SO}}_4$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Those properties that depend on the number of particles of solute that are present in the solvent rather than the nature of solute particles are called colligative properties. Therefore, the effect of solute over these properties is calculated using van’t Hoff factor.

To determine: The theoretical value of van’t Hoff factor for ${\text{CH}}_3\text{OH}$, $\text{NaBr}$ and ${\text{K}}_2{\text{SO}}_4$.
