The correct answer is:
3.00
$\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{i} \times \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}} \times \mathrm{m}$
$0.056=\mathrm{i} \times 1.86 \times 0.01$
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{i}=\frac{0.056}{1.86 \times 0.01}=3.01$
[Note: In the question, the freezing point of aqueous solution is changed from $-0.056 \mathrm{~K}$ to $-0.056^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to apply appropriate textual concepts.]
$0.056=\mathrm{i} \times 1.86 \times 0.01$
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{i}=\frac{0.056}{1.86 \times 0.01}=3.01$
