1. Reason this out for me please: If I increase the concentration of a dissociating compound (for example copper sulfate) in water, then .
2. About the van 't Hoff factor: For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance. (in case of ideal solutions)
Which means that for example NaCl, fully dissociated, will have van 't Hoff factor of 2 (because 2 ions are formed out of the NaCl; Na+ and Cl-)
Now you reason this factor of 1.2 through.
