Explain the meaning of the van't Hoff factor and its role in determining the colligative properties of solutions containing ionic solutes. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. ResetHelp returned The van't Hoff factor (i) is the ratio between the Blank of Blank and the Blank of Blank. Since ionic solute dissociates Blank, the van't Hoff factor Blank its theoretical value.target 1 of 6target 2 of 6target 3 of 6target 4 of 6target 5 of 6target 6 of 6

Previously, we considered the colligative properties of solutions with molecular solutes. What about solutions with ionic solutes? Do they exhibit colligative properties?

There is a complicating factor: ionic solutes separate into ions when they dissolve. This increases the total number of particles dissolved in solution and increases the impact on the resulting colligative property. Historically, this greater-than-expected impact on colligative properties was one main piece of evidence for ionic compounds separating into ions (increased electrical conductivity was another piece of evidence).

For example, when NaCl dissolves, it separates into two ions:

For example, when NaCl dissolves, it separates into two ions:

NaCl(s)→Na+(aq)+Cl−(aq)

This means that a 1 M solution of NaCl

This means that a 1 M solution
