When 70.4 g of benzamide (C7H7NO) are dissolved in 850. g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is 2.7 C lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 70.4 g of ammonium chloride (NH CI) are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is 9.9 °C lower than the freezing point of pure X. Required:
Calculate the van't Hoff factor for ammonium chloride in X.

1.62

Explanation:

From the given information:

number of moles of benzamide  

= 0.58 mole

The molality =

= 0.6837

Using the formula:

where;

dT = freezing point = 27

l = Van't Hoff factor = 1

kf = freezing constant of the solvent

∴

2.7 °C = 1 × kf ×  0.6837 m

kf = 2.7 °C/ 0.6837m

kf = 3.949 °C/m

number of moles of NH4Cl =

= 1.316 mol

The molality =

= 1.5484

Thus;

the above kf value is used in determining the  Van't Hoff factor for  NH4Cl

i.e.

9.9 = l × 3.949 × 1.5484 m

l = 1.62

the answer is b & c i believe : )
