***D*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Colligative properties and van 't Hoff factor⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹The boiling point elevation is a colligative property that depends on the number of particles in solution. The van 't Hoff factor (i) represents the number of particles a compound dissociates into in solution. AlCl3 dissociates into four particles (1 Al^3+ and 3 Cl^-), which is more than the other options, leading to the highest boiling point elevation.⚹◊What intermolecular forces are responsible for determining the boiling points of the substances listed in the image provided?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
