As we learned in concept

Application of Vant Hoff factor -

(a)\: \: \: \left ( \frac{\Delta P}{P^{0}} \right )_{obs}= I_{solute}\times i

(b)\: \: \: \left ( \Delta T_{b} \right )_{obs}= K_{b}\times m\times i

(c)\: \: \: \left ( \Delta T_{f} \right )_{obs}= K_{f}\times m\times i

(d)\: \: \: \left ( \pi \right )_{obs}= C\times R\times T\times i

-

 

 K_{F}=\:-1.86\:^{o}C\:m^{-1}

m = \frac{5}{142\times 0.045}\:=\:0.782\:m

\therefore\:\Delta T=K_{F}\times m \times i

\Delta\:+3.82=\: +1.86\times 0.782\times i

\Delta i = 2.626 \sim 2.63
