Question
Which of the following concentrations of solutions of urea in water exhibits minimum freezing point depression?
Which of the following concentrations of solutions of urea in water exhibits minimum freezing point depression?
D. 0.06 m
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
