Calculate van't Hoff factor (i) of 0.2 m aqueous solution of an electrolyte if it freezes at \(-0.660 \mathrm{~K} .\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}=1.84 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)\)

  1. A 1.97
  2. B 1.79
  3. C 0.242
  4. D 0.557
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1.79

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}} =\mathrm{imK}_{\mathrm{f}} \)
\( \therefore 0.66 =\mathrm{i} \times 0.2 \times 1.84 \)
\( \therefore \mathrm{i} =\frac{0.66 \mathrm{~K}}{0.2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1} \times 1.84 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}} \)
\( =1.793 \approx 1.79\)
