Question:

Which one of the following electrolytes has the same value of van't Hoff's factor (i) as that of $ {Al_2(SO_4)_3}$ (if all are 100% ionised) ?

Updated On: Apr 12, 2024
  • ${Al_2(SO_4)_3}$
  • ${K_4[Fe(CN)_6] }$
  • ${ K_2SO_4}$
  • ${K_3[Fe(CN)_6] }$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

van't Hoff factor of $ {Al_2 (SO_4)_3 -> 2Al^{+3} + 3SO^{-2}_4}$ so n = 5 $ {K_4 [Fe(CN)_6] -> 4K^{+} + [Fe(CN)_6]^{-4}}$ so n =5 $\Rightarrow $ i = n =5

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.
