    The van't hoff factor of 0.500m K₂SO₄ will be highest.

    Explanation:

    Van't Hoff factor was introduced for better understanding of colligative property of a solution.

    By definition it is the ratio of actual number of particles or ions or associated molecules formed when a solute is dissolved to the number of particles expected from the mass dissolved.

    a) For NaCl the van't Hoff factor is 2

    b) For K₂SO₄ the van't Hoff factor is 3 [it will dissociate to give three ions one sulfate ion and two potassium ions]

    Out of 0.500m and 0.050m K₂SO₄, the van't hoff factor of 0.500m K₂SO₄ will be more.

    c) The van't Hoff factor for glucose is one as it is a non electrolyte and will not dissociate.
