MCQ
van't-Hoff factor $(i)$ for this reaction is
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • $4$
  • D
    $5$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4$
c
$(c)$ This is borne out by the fact that solutions of nitric acid in pure sulphuric acid  show an almost four-fold molecular freezing-point depression (actual ly $i \approx  3.82$), which has been interpreted as being due to formation of the  four ions

$(1)$ $H\ddot O\, - \,N{O_2}\,\overset {{H_2}S{O_4}} \longleftrightarrow {H_2}\mathop O\limits_ \oplus   - N{O_2}$ $\overset {{H_2}S{O_4}} \longleftrightarrow {H_2}O{ - ^ \oplus }N{O_2}$

$(2)$ ${H_2}O\, + \,{H_2}S{O_4}\, \rightleftharpoons \,{H_3}{O^ \oplus }\, + \,HSO_4^\Theta $

net reaction, i.e., $HN{O_3}\, + \,2{H_2}S{O_4}\, \rightleftharpoons $ $^ \oplus N{O_2}\, + {H_3}{O^ \oplus } + \,2HSO_4^\Theta $
