STANDARD Chemistry Colligative Properties MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
The van't Hoff factor of 0.005 M aqueous solution of KCl is 1.95. The degree of ionisation of KCl is
A
0.95
B
0.97
C
0.94
D
0.96
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
KCl dissociates into K⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. The degree of ionisation (α) can be calculated using the formula α = (i - 1) / (n - 1), where i is the van't Hoff factor and n is the number of ions formed. Substituting the values, α = (1.95 - 1) / (2 - 1) = 0.95.
