The observed van't hoff factor for an electrolyte is less than the expected factor because of select one: a. electrolytic repulsion b. complete dissociation c. coagulation d. ion pairing e. gelation

d. ion pairing

Explanation:

The measure of the effect of a solute upon the colligative properties of a solution is known as the Van't Hoff factor.Mathematically, the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass is the Van't Hoff factor. If we consider the electrolytes than the Van't Hoff factor should be equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance, however, this is not true and the van't Hoff factor is always less than the expected value as ion-pairing takes place in the solutions. Ion pairing takes place when ions of opposite electrical charge come together in solution and form a distinct chemical entity.

Mitochondria is the cell organelle that produced the energy that is needed in the body system in form of atp, that is why it is called the power house of the cell. energy is needed by the living organisms to carry out the activities which sustain life.  if the mitochondria is destroyed atp will not be produced. if the mitochondria is destroyed, energy production will stop and the affected living organism will not have the energy to carry out the necessary life processes; this will lead to the death of the organism.
