$\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{HgI}_{4}$ is $40 \%$ ionised in aqueous solution. The value of its van't Hoff factor (i) is:
  1. 1.6
  2. 1.8
  3. 20
  4. 22

Solution

$\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Hgl}_{4} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{~K}^{+}+\left[\mathrm{Hgl}_{4}\right]^{2-} ; \mathrm{n}=3$ $ \begin{aligned} \because & \alpha=\frac{i-1}{n-1} ; 0.4=\frac{\mathrm{i}-1}{3-1} \\ & i=1.8 \end{aligned} $
