Right answer is (c) 3

Best explanation: VAN’t Hoff Factor can also be WRITTEN as the ratio between the total number of moles of particles after association / DISSOCIATION and the total number of moles of particles before association / dissociation. Since BACL2 COMPLETELY dissociates(into one Ba^2+ and two Cl^– ions), the total number of moles after dissociation is equal to 3. Therefore, the Van’t Hoff Factor for BaCl2 is 3.
