A 0.1 m solution of K2SO4 in water has freezing point of -0.43 °C. What is the value of van’t Hoff factor if Kf for water is 1.86 K kg mol-1?

Answer»

Given : m = 0.1 m, 

ΔTf = 0 – (-0.43) = 0.43 °C 

Kf = 1.86 K kg mol-1, i = ? 

ΔTf = i × Kf × m

∴ i = \(\frac{ΔT_f}{K_f\times m}\) 

\(\frac{0.43}{1.86\times 0.1}\) 

= 2.312

∴ van’t Hoff factor = i = 2.312
