Which of the following concentrations of solutions of urea in water exhibits minimum freezing point depression?
Options
- A0.12 m
- B0.18 m
- C0.08 m
- D0.06 m
Correct answer
D. 0.06 m
Step-by-step solution
The depression in freezing point is given by T_f = i K_f m . For urea, being a non-electrolyte, the van 't Hoff factor i = 1 . Thus, T_f m . To exhibit the minimum freezing point depression, the solution must have the minimum molality. Among the given options, 0.06 m is the minimum concentration. Therefore, the 0.06 m urea solution exhibits the minimum freezing point depression. Answer: 0.06 m
