We need to know the value of van't hoff factor.
The van't hoff factor is: 2.66 or 2.7 (approximately)
(NH₄)₂SO₄ is an ionic compound, so it dissociates in solution and produces 3 ionic species. Therefore van't hoff factor is more than one.
From the equation: Δ
=i
.m, where Δ
= elevation of boiling point=102.5 - 100=2.5°C.
m=molality of solute=1.83 m (Given)
= Ebullioscopic constant or Boiling point elevation constant= 0.512°C/m (Given)
i= Van't Hoff factor
So, 2.5= i X 0.512 X 1.83
i=
i=2.66= 2.7 (approx.)

The acid - base equation between H2PO3^- and HS^- is H2PO3^- + HS^- ⇄S^- + H3PO3.
<h3>What is an acid?</h3>
An acid is a substance that can donate hydrogen ions while a base is a substance that can accept hydrogen ion. This is the acid base definition according to Brownstead - Lowry.
To show the acid - base relationship between H2PO3^- and HS^-, we have the equation;
H2PO3^- + HS^- ⇄S^- + H3PO3
