$$i = 1 + (n - 1)\alpha$$
Concept: Calculates the van 't Hoff factor when a solute molecule dissociates into multiple smaller ions or particles in a solution.
Notation:
- $$\alpha$$ = Degree of dissociation;
- $$i$$ = van 't Hoff factor;
- $$n$$ = Number of ions produced per formula unit of the solute upon complete dissociation.
