Normality vs. van't Hoff factor

Quick chemistry clarification:

The van't Hoff factor for Ba(OH)₂ is i = 3, right? This is only used for colligative properties?

But the normality of Ba(OH)₂ is 2, because when ionized, two OH- ions are present and the Ba is just a spectator?

For an acid like H₂SO₄, is the normality again 2 because when completely ionized there are 2 H+ ions present?

Thanks!

You got it all right. Asking and answering questions like these yourself probably means you're going to do well on chemistry 🙂
