A 0.0020 m aqueous solution of an ionic compound Co(NH3)5(NO2)Cl freezes at -0.00732°C. Number of moles of ions which 1 mol of ionic compound produces on being dissolved in water will be (kf=-1.86。C/ m)
(a) Given,
molality, m=0.0020 m
Since, the compound is ionic, so number of moles produced is equal to vant' Hoff factor, i. Hence, 2 moles of ions are produced.
