    Which of the following compounds corresponds to vant Hoff factor \[(i)\] to be equal to 2 for dilute solution?

    A) \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)  \[NaHS{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)  Sugar

    D)  \[MgS{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[i=2\]means two ions are present in the solution \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underbrace{2{{K}^{+}}+SO_{4}^{2-}}_{3\,\text{ions}}\] \[NaHS{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underbrace{N{{a}^{+}}+{{H}^{+}}+SO_{4}^{2-}}_{3\text{ions}}\] \[\text{Sugar}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\text{No}\,\text{ions}\] \[\text{MgS}{{\text{O}}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underbrace{M{{g}^{2+}}+SO_{4}^{2-}}_{\text{2}\,\text{ions}}\] Thus, vant Hoff factor is 2 for dilute solution of \[\text{MgS}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\text{.}\]
