Of the following 0.10 m aqueous solutions, which one will exhibit the largest freezing point
depression?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
(freezing point depression) is a colligative property and depends upon the van't Hoff
factor (i), i.e. number of ions given by the electrolyte in aqueous solution.

where,
molal freezing point depression constant
molality of the solution
and
are constant

van't Hoff factor for ionic solution.

(Total ions
thus,
)
no ions
because glucose does not give ions.
