The van’t <strong>Hoff</strong> <strong>factor</strong><br />
This <strong>factor</strong> of 2 for NaCl is the (approximate) van’t <strong>Hoff</strong> <strong>factor</strong>.<br />
This <strong>factor</strong>, given the symbol “i ”, is greater than 1 for all<br />
strong electrolytes.<br />
i for NaCl = 2 Why? Because NaCl Na + + Cl G<br />
Thus each formal mole of NaCl yields 2 moles of ions in<br />
water.<br />
Consider other electrolytes:<br />
H 2 O
