What is the value of the van't Hoff factor for KCl if a 1.00m aqueous solution shows a vapor pressure depression of 0.734 mmHg at 298 ∘C? (The vapor pressure of water at 298 K is 23.76 mmHg.)

The Van't Hoff factor for KCl is 1.74

Explanation:

We are given:

Molality of solution = 1 m

This means that 1 mole of a solute is present in 1 kg of solvent (water) or 1000 grams of water

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

Given mass of water = 1000 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

Moles of solute = 1 moles

Total moles = [1 + 55.56] = 56.56 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

The equation used to calculate relative lowering of vapor pressure follows:

where,

= relative lowering in vapor pressure = 0.734 mmHg

i = Van't Hoff factor = ?

= mole fraction of solute = 0.0177

= vapor pressure of pure water = 23.76 torr

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the Van't Hoff factor for KCl is 1.74

c. because step up transformer steps up the input voltage i.e increases the input voltage  

the number of turns are greater on the secondary side of step up transformer  

transformer does not handle dc current

the answer is a and have a great day
