Answer:

i=2 for HCl and i=1 for ethanol

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Since the hydrochloric acid is composed by sodium and chloride ions which are completely dissociated, two types of ions are present, that's why i becomes 2.

On the other hand, as long as the ethanol doesn't present dissociation in aqueous solution, the Van't Hoff factor becomes 1.

Best regards.
