The van 't Hoff factor (i) is used to describe the number of particles a solute formula unit produces in a solution. For an electrolyte like \(\mathrm{NaCl}\), which dissociates completely in very dilute solutions, the theoretical value of \(i\) is approximately 2, since \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) dissociates into \(\mathrm{Na}^+\) and \(\mathrm{Cl}^-\) ions.
In real scenarios, as the concentration of the solution decreases (making the solution more dilute), the interaction between the ions decreases, allowing more complete dissociation. Therefore, for practical purposes, the van 't Hoff factor \(i\) approaches its theoretical maximum value as concentration decreases. Thus, for \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) solutions of concentrations \(0.1 \mathrm{M}\), \(0.01 \mathrm{M}\), and \(0.001 \mathrm{M}\), the fact that \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) dissociates more completely in more dilute solutions implies that \(i\) increases with decreasing concentration.
Hence, the order of \(i\) based on the concentration would be \(\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{A}} < \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{B}} < \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{C}}\), as concentration \(0.1 \mathrm{M} > 0.01 \mathrm{M} > 0.001 \mathrm{M}\), respectively. Thus, option B correctly describes the order of the van 't Hoff factors for these solutions.

If the degree of dissociation of aqueous solution of weak monobasic acid is determined to be 0.3, then the observed freezing point will be ___________% higher than the expected/theoretical freezing point. (Nearest integer)
The degree of dissociation, often represented as \(\alpha\), is the fraction of a mole of a substance that has dissociated into ions in solution. For a weak monobasic acid, this degree of dissociation can increase the number of particles in solution, which can in turn affect colligative properties such as the freezing point.
In this case, a weak monobasic acid, when it dissociates, produces two particles: one \(H^{+}\) ion and one anion. So if the degree of dissociation is 0.3 (\(\alpha = 0.3\)), the average number of particles per molecule of the acid (\(i\)), also known as the van't Hoff factor, will be \(1 + \alpha = 1 + 0.3 = 1.3\).
The decrease in freezing point (\(\Delta T_{f}\)) is given by the formula \(\Delta T_{f} = i \cdot m \cdot K_{f}\), where \(m\) is the molality of the solution and \(K_{f}\) is the cryoscopic constant of the solvent. Therefore, the observed freezing point depression will be 1.3 times the theoretical freezing point depression for a non-dissociating solute (where \(i = 1\)).
So, the observed freezing point will be 30% higher than the theoretical freezing point, given the degree of dissociation of 0.3.
