What is the theoretical van’t hoff factor for the following substances: hcl & ethanol (ch3ch2oh)

i=2 for HCl and i=1 for ethanol

Explanation:

Hello,

Since the hydrochloric acid is composed by sodium and chloride ions which are completely dissociated, two types of ions are present, that's why i becomes 2.

On the other hand, as long as the ethanol doesn't present dissociation in aqueous solution, the Van't Hoff factor becomes 1.

Best regards.

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
