Which of the following aqueous solutions exhibits maximum freezing...

Which of the following aqueous solutions exhibits maximum freezing point depression assuming complete dissociation?

Options

  1. A0.10.1 m Li2SO4\text{Li}_2\text{SO}_4.
  2. B0.50.5 m KCl.
  3. C0.050.05 m Al2(SO4)2\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_2.
  4. D0.20.2 m BaCl2\text{BaCl}_2.

Correct answer

B. 0.50.5 m KCl.

Step-by-step solution

The depression in freezing point is given by ΔTf=i×Kf×m\Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times m.

Since KfK_f is constant for aqueous solutions, ΔTf∝i×m\Delta T_f \propto i \times m.

For 0.10.1 m Li2SO4\text{Li}_2\text{SO}_4, i=3i = 3, i×m=3×0.1=0.3i \times m = 3 \times 0.1 = 0.3

For 0.50.5 m KCl, i=2i = 2, i×m=2×0.5=1.0i \times m = 2 \times 0.5 = 1.0

For 0.050.05 m Al2(SO4)3\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3, i=5i = 5, i×m=5×0.05=0.25i \times m = 5 \times 0.05 = 0.25

For 0.20.2 m BaCl2\text{BaCl}_2, i=3i = 3, i×m=3×0.2=0.6i \times m = 3 \times 0.2 = 0.6

The maximum value of i×mi \times m is 1.01.0 for 0.50.5 m KCl, which will exhibit the maximum freezing point depression.

Answer: 0.50.5 m KCl.
