0.01 M solution of KCl and CaCl ₂ are prepared in water. The freezing point of KCl is found to be -2^ C . What is the freezing point of CaCl ₂ to be completely ionised?
Options
- A-3^ C
- B+3^ C
- C-2^ C
- D-4^ C
Correct answer
A. -3^ C
Step-by-step solution
i for KCl =2, i for for CaCl ₂=3 aligned & T_f( KCl ) T_f i = 2 T_f ( CaCl ₂ ) = 2 3 aligned T_f ( CaCl ₂ )= 3 2 2=3^ C Freezing point of CaCl ₂=-3^ C
