A.
Observed molar mass becomes lower than normal molar mass
B.
Observed molar mass becomes approximately double the normal molar mass

For an electrolyte that dissociates into 'n' ions per formula unit with degree of dissociation α, which expression correctly gives the van't Hoff factor?
For a solute undergoing association where 'n' molecules combine to form one associated species with degree of association α, which expression correctly gives the van't Hoff factor?
If the observed molar mass of a solute is found to be lower than its calculated (normal) molar mass, what does this indicate about the solute's behaviour in solution?
A.
The solute is associating in solution
B.
The solute has no effect on colligative properties
