Question

What is the difference between dissolving and dissociating and how does this relate to the van't hoff factor?

Answer 1

Solvation is the process of dissolving.

Dissociation is the separation of a substance into charged components during dissolution.

What is the difference between dissolving and dissociating?

Dissolution (dissolving), which simply refers to becoming solvated by the solvent, is a subset of dissociation, which is particularly the separation of two charged ions in solution. When the solvent completely envelops each individual solute molecule, solvation takes place. By definition, something that is dissociated in a solvent must be dissolved in it. For instance, the salt dissociates in water, which is how it dissolves in water. In water, ethanol dissolves but does not dissociate; it remains ethanol.

How does Van't Hoff's factor work?

The Van't Hoff factor is a tool used to compare the real number of moles of solute injected to create a solution to the apparent amount produced by colloidal characteristics.

What is the Van't Hoff factor's value?

Van't Hoff factor's value is:-

• No association or dissociation                  i=1
• Dissociation                                             i<1
• Association                                               i>1
