When 20 g of naphthoic acid (C11H8O2) is dissolved in 50 g of
benzene (Kf = 1.72 K kg mol-1), a freezing point depression of 2 K is

observed. The van't Hoff factor (i) is:

Show answer and solution
ΔTf=i×Kf× molality \Delta T_{f} = i \times K_{f} \times \ molality\ (eksyyrk)
⇒2=i×1.72×20172×100050\Rightarrow 2 = i \times 1.72 \times \frac{20}{172} \times \frac{1000}{50}
⇒2=4i\Rightarrow 2 = 4i
⇒i=1/2=0.5\Rightarrow i = 1/2 = 0.5
