The Van't Hoff factor of sulphur solution is

The Van't Hoff factor of sulphur solution is

  • A. i = 1
  • B. \( i=1 / 6 \)
  • C. \( i=1 / 2 \)
  • D. i =1/8

Step-by-step solution

In solution, sulfur exists as S₈ molecules. If the formula unit is taken as atomic sulfur (S), then the actual number of particles is 1/8 of the formula units, giving a Van't Hoff factor i = 1/8.
