Chemistry: Van´t Hoff factor for baking soda

[Lemm]

Hello,
Im writing up a lab involving boiling point elevation of distilled water when solutes are added to it and I am using the equation:

deltaT = iKm

where:
deltaT is the change in boiling point of the solvent,
K is the molal boiling point elevation constant, and
m is the molal concentration of the solute in the solution.

I calculated the predicted elevation for salt and sugar, which i could find their van´t hoff factor to be 2, and 1 respectively. However I fail to find the van´t hoff factor for baking soda, could somebody please provide me with this value?
Thanks

What is a baking soda formula? How does it dissolve? Does it dissociate? Can you write reaction equation?

for your question. The Van´t Hoff factor for baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is 2. This means that when baking soda is dissolved in water, it dissociates into two ions: sodium (Na+) and bicarbonate (HCO3-). This is important to consider when calculating the boiling point elevation of a solution containing baking soda.

However, it is worth noting that the Van´t Hoff factor can vary depending on the concentration and temperature of the solution. It is best to consult a reliable source or conduct your own experiment to determine the exact Van´t Hoff factor for your specific solution.
