Detailed Solution

When mercuric iodide is added to aqueous solution of KI the freezing point of the given solution increases. Mercuric Iodide will react with Potassium Iodide to form a complex as follows:

2KI4 ions+Hgl2K2HgI43 ions

This will decrease the number of ions in the solution and so Van't Hoff factor decreases which depend on the number of particles.
