Solution

The correct option is A Sodium chloride in water
The Van’t Hoff factor is greater than 1 for solutes that dissociate in solution. In the given list, only sodium chloride dissociates in water whereas the remaining carboxylic acids associate in benzene. Hence, the value of the Van’t Hoff factor is greater than 1 for a solution of sodium chloride in water.
