Question

Why does the experimentally observed van't Hoff factor frequently differ from the predicted value?

answer choices:
a. Varying degrees of residual ionic attractions prohibit the ions as acting as totally independent particles
b. Compounds that completely dissociate have a van't Hoff factor twice of that predicted
c. A complete lack of particle interaction results in a lowered experimental value
d. A complete lack of particle interaction results in an increased experimental value
e. Interference from nonelectrolytes lowers the experimental value
