We have three aqueous solutions of \(CH_3COONa\) labelled as 'A', 'B' and 'C' with concentrations 0.1M, 0.01M, 0.001M respectively. The value of Van't Hoff factor (i) for these solution will be in the order _________

  1. A \(i_{ A }=i_{ B }=i_{ C }\)
  2. B \(i_{ A }>i_{ B }>i_{ C }\)
  3. C \(i_{ A } < i_{ B } < i_{ C }\)
  4. D \(i_{ A } < i_{ B } > i_{ C }\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(i_{ A } < i_{ B } < i_{ C }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(CH_3COONa\) is an electrolyte. As concentration decreases, the degree of dissociation (\(\alpha\)) increases, approaching complete dissociation.
