The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given salts has the same Van't Hoff factor (i) as that of \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \), we need to first calculate the Van't Hoff factor for \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \) and then compare it with the dissociation of the other salts. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Van't Hoff Factor (i)**: The Van't Hoff factor (i) is defined as the number of particles (ions) a compound dissociates into when it dissolves in a solution. 2. **Dissociation of \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \)**: When \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \) dissociates in water, it breaks down into: - 3 potassium ions (\( K^+ \)) - 1 complex ion (\( [Fe(CN)_6]^{3-} \)) Therefore, the total number of ions produced is: \[ i = 3 + 1 = 4 \] 3. **Analyzing Other Salts**: We will now analyze the dissociation of the given salts to find which one also gives an i value of 4. - **\( Na_2SO_4 \)**: \[ Na_2SO_4 \rightarrow 2Na^+ + SO_4^{2-} \] Total ions = 2 + 1 = 3 (i = 3) - **\( Al(NO_3)_3 \)**: \[ Al(NO_3)_3 \rightarrow Al^{3+} + 3NO_3^- \] Total ions = 1 + 3 = 4 (i = 4) - **\( Al_2(SO_4)_3 \)**: \[ Al_2(SO_4)_3 \rightarrow 2Al^{3+} + 3SO_4^{2-} \] Total ions = 2 + 3 = 5 (i = 5) - **\( NaCl \)**: \[ NaCl \rightarrow Na^+ + Cl^- \] Total ions = 1 + 1 = 2 (i = 2) 4. **Conclusion**: The only salt that has the same Van't Hoff factor (i = 4) as \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \) is \( Al(NO_3)_3 \). ### Final Answer: The salt that has the same value of Van't Hoff factor \( i \) as that of \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \) is **\( Al(NO_3)_3 \)**.
