Most strong electrolyte solutions are not ideal so that the measured value of the van't Hoff factor i is _____ than expected fro

m the formula of the compound. This is because ions in solution are not totally isolated from each other, but remain clustered together to form an ionic atmosphere. This _____ the effective concentration of particles and therefore the measured value of i.

<u>Answer:</u> Van't Hoff factor, i is <u>less</u> than expected from the formula of the compound and this <u>decreases</u> the effective concentration of particles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Strong electrolytes are defined as the solutions which completely dissociate into their ions.

But, most of the strong electrolytes do not dissociate completely (act ideally) but remain partially undissociated into the ions. Thus, giving a lesser number of ions in the solution than expected.

This means that the Van't Hoff factor, <em>i</em> which denotes the number of ions is <u>less</u> than expected.

As fewer ions are released in the solution, the concentration of the solution is expected to <u>decrease</u>.

Hence, van't Hoff factor, i is <u>less</u> than expected from the formula of the compound and this <u>decreases</u> the effective concentration of particles.

In a solution of H2SO4, rank the concentration of H2SO4, H+, SO42- from highest concentration to lowest concentration.
Softa [21]

Answer:

  • [H⁺] > [SO₄²⁻] > [H₂SO₄]

Explanation:

H₂SO₄ is a strong acid, which means that most of it ionizes in aqueous solution.

Since it is a diprotic acid (two hydrogen ions) its ionization occurs in two steps:

  • H₂SO₄ (aq) → H⁺(aq) + HSO₄⁻(aq)

  • HSO₄⁻ (aq) → H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

Thus, almost all H₂SO₄ has ionized and its final concentration is almost nothing.

After the first ionization, the conentrations of H⁺(aq) and HSO₄⁻ are equal but by the second ionization more H⁺ ions are produced along with SO₄⁻.

You can show it as one step dissociation, assuming 100% dissociation (given this is a strong acid):

By the stequiometry you can build this table:

                 H₂SO₄ (aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

Initial                A                 0              0

Change           - x               +2x          +x

Equilibrium       A - x           2x             x

As explained, A - x is very low, and 2x is twice x. Thus,

The rank of the concentrations from highest to lowest is:

  • [H⁺] > [SO₄²⁻] > [H₂SO₄]
