The correct answer is: $87 \%$
$\mathrm{Ba}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2 \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Ba}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{NO}_3^{-}$

Total number of moles $=1-\alpha+\alpha+2 \alpha$
$=1+2 \alpha$
Then, van't Hoff factor, $\mathrm{i}=1+2 \alpha$
or, $\quad \alpha=\frac{i-1}{2}$
or, $\quad \alpha=\frac{2.74-1}{2}=0.87 \%$
$\%$ dissociation $=87$
