When 84.8 g of alanine C3H7NO2 are dissolved in 1200. g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is 6.1°C lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 84.8 g of ammonium chloride NH4Cl are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is 15.4°C lower than the freezing point of pure X. Calculate the van't Hoff factor for ammonium chloride in X.

Question

When 84.8 g of alanine C3H7NO2 are dissolved in 1200. g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is 6.1°C lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 84.8 g of ammonium chloride NH4Cl are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is 15.4°C lower than the freezing point of pure X. Calculate the van't Hoff factor for ammonium chloride in X. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round your answer to 2 significant digits.
