What is the correct sequence of the increasing order of freezing points at one atmosphere of the following 1.0 M aqueous solution? 1 . Urea, 2 . Sodium chloride, 3 . Sodium sulphate, 4 . Sodium phosphate. Select the correct answer using the codes given below
Options
- A4, 3, 1, 2
- B3, 4, 2, 1
- C3, 4, 1, 2
- D4, 3, 2, 1
Correct answer
D. 4, 3, 2, 1
Step-by-step solution
vant Hoff factors for urea, NaCl, N a 2 S O 4 and N a 3 P O 4 are 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. As Δ T f ∝ i m , so Δ T f for urea, NaCl, N a 2 S O 4 and N a 3 P O 4 are proportional to 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Hence, freezing point order is N a 3 P O 4 < N a 2 S O 4 < N a C l < Urea
