what is vant hoff factor and how to determine if we have to use it or not in a question?

It is the fraction of the total number of molecules, which dissociate into simpler ions i.e.,

If a molecule of an electrolyte when dissolved in a solvent dissociates to give n ions and a is the degree of dissociation and Van't Hoff factor = i then


n = Number of ions provided by one formula unit.
