Solution

The correct option is A 1.92 and 0.92
Since ,
ρwater=1 g mL1Weight of water (W)=100 g

Calculating Observed mol. mass of KCl (MB)ΔTf=Kf×mHere m is molalityMB=1000×Kf×wΔT×W
where,
Kf=1.86 K kg mol1, weight of solute (w)=0.5g,W=100 g,ΔTf=(0(0.24)) K=+0.24 K

So,
MB=1000×1.86×0.50.24×100=38.75 g mol1

Theoretical molecular mass of KCl=39+35.5=74.5 g mol1

van't Hoff factor=Theoretical molecular massObserved molecular massi=74.538.75=1.92
Option (b) is correct
For dissociation
α=i1n1

Aqueous solution of KCl dissociates into two ions

n=2
α=1.92121α=0.92
Option (a) is correct.
