van’t Hoff factor (i) – number of ions a compound dissociates into per formula unit

-assume strong electrolytes dissociate completely
-a nonelectrolyte has a van’t Hoff factor of 1

Determine the van’t Hoff factor of each of the following:

NaCl

CH3OH

Ba(OH)2

Al(NO3)3

Colligative Properties
Freezing Pt. Depression ΔTF = −iKFm
Boiling Pt. Elevation ΔTB = iKBm
Vapor Pressure Depression (Raoult’s Law)
Osmotic Pressure π= iMRT
Constants for H2O
TF = 0°C KF = 1.86°C/m
TB = 100°C KB = 0.51°C/m
PH2O, 25°C = 24torr
