Q9 / 160 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Solutions

In which of the following solution the depression in freezing point is lowest?

  • Correct answer
    A
    0.2 M urea and 0.2 M glucose
  • B
    0.1 M Al2(SO4)3 and 0.1 M Na2SO4
  • C
    0.1 MKNO3 and 0.2 M Ba(NO3)2
  • D
    0.1 M Ca(NO3)2 and 0.1 M Ba(NO3)2

Solution

As ΔTf∝m×i
Urea and glucose do not dissociate in aqueous medium, hence their solution has lowest depression in freezing point as for them i is only 1. It will be maximum for 0.1 M Al2(SO4)3 and 0.1 M Na2SO4 as m×i will be maximum for them.
Δ T f ∝i×m
T f ∝ 1 i⋅m
∴ Δ T f =0= T f

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