Which of the following $$0.1 M$$ aqueous solutions will have
the lowest freezing point?
A.
Potassium sulphate
B.
Sodium chloride
C.
Urea
D.
Glucose
Answer :
Potassium sulphate
Solution :
NOTE: The salt producing highest number of ions will have lowest freezing point.
$${K_2}S{O_4} \to 2{K^ + } + SO_4^{2 - };\,{K_2}S{O_4}$$ gives highest number of particles
( 2 + 1 = 3 ).
Glucose, being non-electrolyte gives minimum no. of particles and hence minimum $$\Delta {T_f}$$ or maximum $$F.$$ $$pt.$$
