Which one of the following electrolytes has the same value of van't Hoff's factor (ii) as that of Al2(SO4)3\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 (if all are 100%100\% ionised)?

A

K2SO4\text{K}_2\text{SO}_4

B

K3[Fe(CN)6]\text{K}_3[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]

C

Al(NO3)3\text{Al(NO}_3)_3

D

K4[Fe(CN)6]\text{K}_4[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]

Step-by-Step Solution

Assuming 100%100\% ionisation, the van't Hoff factor (ii) is equal to the number of ions produced per formula unit of the electrolyte. For Al2(SO4)3\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3, the dissociation is: Al2(SO4)32Al3++3SO42\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 \rightleftharpoons 2\text{Al}^{3+} + 3\text{SO}_4^{2-} Total number of ions (ii) = 2+3=52 + 3 = 5. Now, let's check the given options: (A) K2SO42K++SO42\text{K}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightleftharpoons 2\text{K}^+ + \text{SO}_4^{2-} (i=3i = 3) (B) K3[Fe(CN)6]3K++[Fe(CN)6]3\text{K}_3[\text{Fe(CN)}_6] \rightleftharpoons 3\text{K}^+ + [\text{Fe(CN)}_6]^{3-} (i=4i = 4) (C) Al(NO3)3Al3++3NO3\text{Al(NO}_3)_3 \rightleftharpoons \text{Al}^{3+} + 3\text{NO}_3^- (i=4i = 4) (D) K4[Fe(CN)6]4K++[Fe(CN)6]4\text{K}_4[\text{Fe(CN)}_6] \rightleftharpoons 4\text{K}^+ + [\text{Fe(CN)}_6]^{4-} (i=5i = 5) Therefore, K4[Fe(CN)6]\text{K}_4[\text{Fe(CN)}_6] has the same van't Hoff factor (i=5i=5) as Al2(SO4)3\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3.
