When is the value of van't Hoff factor more than one?
Answer: When the solute dissociates in solution, so the number of particles exceeds the number of formula units dissolved.
Solution
The van't Hoff factor exceeds one when the solute undergoes dissociation in the solution — the number of particles becomes greater than the number of formula units dissolved, e.g. NaCl, KSO in water.
