The van't Hoff factor (i) is given by the expression:

(a) i= Normal molar mass  Abnormal molar mass

(b) i= Abnormal molar mass  Normal molar mass

(c) i= Observed colligative property  Calculated colligative property

(d) i= Calculated colligative property  Observed colligative property

The correct choice among the given options is:

1. a and b 2. b and c
3. c and d 4. a and c
Hint: Van't Hoff factor (i)= normal molar mass  abnormal molar mass
