Best answer

ΔTb = i x Kb x molality, where i is  Van't Hoff factor

Given,  ΔTb = 1.88 K

Kb = 0.52 K kg mol-1

Molality = 2

i = \(\frac{1.88}{0.52\times2}\)

i = 1.8076

This value of ‘i’ signifies that when 1 mole of NaCl is dissolved in water it dissociates to give 1.8076 moles of particles in the solution.
