The depression in freezing point of solution of molality 0.01 ~mol ~kg ⁻¹ is highest with respect to which of the solvent? (Whose K_f is given in brackets)
Options
- AWater (1.86)
- BBenzene (5.12)
- CCarbon tetrachloride (31.8)
- DCyclohexane (20.0)
Correct answer
C. Carbon tetrachloride (31.8)
Step-by-step solution
Given, molality of solution =0.01 ~mol ~kg ⁻¹ We know that, T_f=i K_f m ...(i) (where, symbols have their usual meaning) The van't Hoff factor for all given solvent is 1 as they does not ionise. Therefore, For, Eq (i) T_f K_f Therefore, the depression in freezing point of given solution is highest for carbon tetrachloride because its K_f value is highest.
