  6. The theoretical number is 3 for K2SO4. Since all of that other information is included you must want the actual factor for this particular solution.
    5% K2SO4 = 5g K2SO4/100 g solution which is 5g K2SO4/95 g solvent.
    mol K2SO4 = 5/molar mass K2SO4
    m K2SO4 = mols K2SO4/0.095 kg solvent. Plug in and solve for m K2SO4.
    Then dT = i*Kf*m
    1.21 = i*1.86*m
    Solve for i. It should be close to 3 but not exactly 3.
