When 193. g of benzamide (C7H7NO) are dissolved in 550. g of

When 193. g of benzamide (C7H7NO) are dissolved in 550. g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is 5.4 °C lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 193. g of iron(III) chloride are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is 14.3 °C lower than the freezing point of pure X. Calculate the van't Hoff factor for iron(III) chloride in X. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round your answer to 2 significant digits.
