Answer:
Van't Hoff factor is 1.72 ≅ 2
Explanation:
Let's apply the colligative property of boiling point elevation:
ΔT = Kb . m . i
ΔT = Boiling T° of solution - T° boiling of pure solvent
103.45 °C - 100°C = 0.512 °C/m . 3.90 m . i
3.45 °C / 0.512 m/°C . 3.90 m = i
1.72 = i ≅ 2
The number of sulfate ions : 2.2 x 10²³
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Reaction
Al₂(SO₄)₃⇒2Al³⁺+3SO₄²⁻
mol Al₂(SO₄)₃(MW=342,15 g/mol) :

mol of sulfate ions (SO₄²⁻)

1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles (ions, molecules, atoms), so for 0.366 mol :

It’s really any metal because metals form metallic bonds. They are the only substances which can make metallic bonds. So the answer is A
