Q1 / 90 · JEE Main 2018 (08 Apr) · Chemistry

For 1 molal aqueous solution of the following compounds, which one will show the highest freezing point?

  • Correct answer
    A
    CoH2O3Cl3.3H2O
  • B
    CoH2O6Cl3
  • C
    CoH2O5ClCl2.H2O
  • D
    CoH2O4Cl2Cl.2H2O

Solution

Depression in freezing point ΔTf=i.kf.m

For one molal soloution ; ΔTf∝i

i is least for  [Co(H2O)3Cl3].3H2O ; So ΔTf  is least but freezing point is high.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
