When 151. g of benzamide C7H7NO are dissolved in 1200. g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is 8.0 °C lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 151. g of iron(III) chloride are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is 20.5°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.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
