As learnt

Vant Hoff factor for dissociation -

i=1-\alpha +\frac{\alpha }{n}

n= number of particles associated

\alpha = degree of association

e.g. Carboxylic acid dimerized in non polar solvents like Hexane.
 

- wherein

n = 2 for dimerization

n = 3 for trimerization

 

 AND

 

Vant Hoff factor for dissociation -

i= 1+(n-1)\alpha

Where

n is the no. of dissociated particles

\alpha = degree of association
 

- wherein

NaC l \: \: \: n = 2

CaCl_{2} \: \: \: n = 3

K_{4}[F(CN_{6})]\: \: \: \: \: n=5

 

 

Van't Hoff factor for association, i=1-\alpha +\frac{\alpha }{n} ,where n=2 for dimerization

                                                                                              n=3 for trimerization

                                                        i=1-\alpha \left ( 1-\frac{1}{n} \right )

                                                            < 1

 

and Van't Hoff factor for dissociation, i=1+(n-1)\alpha , where n=2, 3 ....... (no. of dissociated particles)

                                                                  >  1

Therefore, i <1  for association

         and, i > 1 for dissociation
