Define the terms: Van't Hoff factor
✓
Answer
Van't Hoff factor: Van't hoff factor 'i' is a correction factor defined as the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass.
$
i=\frac{\text { Observed value of colligative property }}{\text { Normal value of colligative property }}
