Formulas Used
Elevation in boiling point formula involving the van't Hoff factor (i$i$):
Δ Tb = i · Kb · m$$\Delta T_b = i \cdot K_b \cdot m$$
Where:
- Δ Tb = Tb - Tb^°$\Delta T_b = T_b - T_b^\circ$ (Boiling point elevation)
- Kb = Ebullioscopic constant$K_b = \text{Ebullioscopic constant}$
- m = Molality of the solution ( moles of solutemass of solvent in kg)$m = \text{Molality of the solution } \left(\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}\right)$
Core Logic
Step 1: Evaluate solution system AX₂$\mathrm{AX}_2$
Δ Tb = 100.0156^ - 100.0000^ = 0.0156^$$\Delta T_b = 100.0156^\circ\mathrm{C} - 100.0000^\circ\mathrm{C} = 0.0156^\circ\mathrm{C}$$
Molality m₁ = 1.24 g / 124 g mol⁻¹1 kg = 0.01 mol/kg$$\text{Molality } m_1 = \frac{1.24\text{ g} / 124\text{ g mol}^{-1}}{1\text{ kg}} = 0.01\text{ mol/kg}$$
Using the elevation formula:
0.0156 = iAX₂ · 0.52 · 0.01$$0.0156 = i_{\mathrm{AX}_2} \cdot 0.52 \cdot 0.01$$
iAX₂ = (0.0156)/(0.0052) = 3$$i_{\mathrm{AX}_2} = \frac{0.0156}{0.0052} = 3$$
Since theoretical dissociation of AX₂ arrow A²⁺ + 2X^-$\mathrm{AX}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{A}^{2+} + 2\mathrm{X}^-$ produces 3$3$ particles, i = 3$i = 3$ implies that AX₂$\mathrm{AX}_2$ is fully ionised.

Step 2: Evaluate solution system AY₂$\mathrm{AY}_2$
Δ Tb = 100.0260^ - 100.0000^ = 0.0260^$$\Delta T_b = 100.0260^\circ\mathrm{C} - 100.0000^\circ\mathrm{C} = 0.0260^\circ\mathrm{C}$$
Molality m₂ = 25.4 g / 250 g mol⁻¹2 kg = 0.0508 mol/kg$$\text{Molality } m_2 = \frac{25.4\text{ g} / 250\text{ g mol}^{-1}}{2\text{ kg}} = 0.0508\text{ mol/kg}$$
Using the elevation formula:
0.0260 = iAY₂ · 0.52 · 0.0508$$0.0260 = i_{\mathrm{AY}_2} \cdot 0.52 \cdot 0.0508$$
iAY₂ = (0.0260)/(0.0264) ≈ 1$$i_{\mathrm{AY}_2} = \frac{0.0260}{0.0264} \approx 1$$
Since i ≈ 1$i \approx 1$, it behaves as a non-electrolyte, meaning AY₂$\mathrm{AY}_2$ is completely unionised.
Thus, AX₂$\mathrm{AX}_2$ is fully ionised while AY₂$\mathrm{AY}_2$ is completely unionised.
Pattern Recognition
A van't Hoff factor matching the complete stoichiometric ion count (i = 3$i = 3$ for AX₂$\mathrm{AX}_2$) confirms complete ionisation, whereas a factor near unity (i = 1$i = 1$) indicates no dissociation into separate ions.
Correct Option: (D)
