The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\Delta T _{ f } = ik _{ f }. m$
$i =\frac{\Delta T _{ f }}{ k _{ f } \cdot m }$
$=\frac{0.00732}{1.86 \times 0.002}=\frac{0.00732}{0.00372}$
$i =2$

Compound will be $\left.\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{5}\right] NO _{5} NO _{2}\right] Cl$

Total possible ions $=2$

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
