Vent Hoff factor is a measure of the number of ions that a solute will produce in a solution. The values of the vent Hoff factor depend on the nature of the solute and the solvent.
a) 0.05 M K4[Fe(CN)6] and 0.10 M FeSO4:
- K4[Fe(CN)6] is a strong electrolyte and dissociates completely into four K+ ions and one [Fe(CN)6]4- ion.
- FeSO4 is also a strong electrolyte and dissociates completely into one Fe2+ ion and one SO42- ion.
- The vent Hoff factor for K4[Fe(CN)6] is 5, and for FeSO4, it is 2.
- Therefore, the values of the vent Hoff factor for these two solutions will not be the same.
b) 0.10 M K4[Fe(CN)6] and 0.05 M FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.6H20:
- K4[Fe(CN)6] is a strong electrolyte and dissociates completely into four K+ ions and one [Fe(CN)6]4- ion.
- FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.6H20 is a salt that dissociates into Fe2+, SO42-, NH4+, and H2O molecules.
- The vent Hoff factor for K4[Fe(CN)6] is 5, and for FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.6H20, it is 3.
- Therefore, the values of the vent Hoff factor for these two solutions will not be the same.
c) 0.20 M NaCI and 0.10 M BaCl2:
- NaCI is a strong electrolyte and dissociates completely into Na+ and Cl- ions.
- BaCl2 is also a strong electrolyte and dissociates completely into Ba2+ and 2 Cl- ions.
- The vent Hoff factor for NaCI is 2, and for BaCl2, it is 3.
- Therefore, the values of the vent Hoff factor for these two solutions will not be the same.
d) 0.05 M FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.6H20 and 0.02 M KCI.MgC12.6H20:
- FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.6H20 is a salt that dissociates into Fe2+, SO42-, NH4+, and H2O molecules.
- KCI.MgC12.6H20 is a salt that dissociates into K+, Cl-, Mg2+, and 6H2O molecules.
- The vent Hoff factor for FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.6H20 is 3, and for KCI.MgC12.6H20, it is 4.
- Therefore, the values of the vent Hoff factor for these two solutions will not be the same.
Hence, the correct options are B and D, where the values of the vent Hoff factor will be the same.
