Question:

Van't Hoff factor for $\text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4\cdot10\text{H}_2\text{O}$ solution, assuming complete ionisation is:

Options:

1

3

13

2

Correct Answer:

3

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 3 ##

The molecule $\text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4\cdot10\text{H}_2\text{O}$ dissociates as follows:

  • $2\text{ Na}^+$
  • $1\text{ SO}_4^{2-}$
  • $10\text{ H}_2\text{O}$

Since water is a non-electrolyte, it does not ionise and does not contribute to the van't Hoff factor value.
