The correct answer is: 48

One molal solution means one of solute present in one kg of solvent.

MgCl2Mg2++2Cl-    1                0          01-0.8          0.8       1.6

Hence, overall moles after dissociation =2.6

The relative lowering of vapour pressure

po-pspo=moles of solutemoles of solute+moles of solvent

p°-psp°=2.6100018+2.6

For dilute solution

p°-psp°=2.6100018

p=47.6648 mm Hg
