Question 11
In comparison to a 0.01 M solution of glucose, the depression in freezing point of a 0.01MMgCl2 solution is ........... .
(a) the same (b) about twice
(c) about three times (d) about six times
(c) As we know depression in freezing point is directly related to van't Hoff factor (i) according to which greater the value of i greater will be the drepression in freezing point.
Solution I 0.01 M glucose 1 0.01 MMgCl2 3
Hence, depression in freezing point of MgCl2 is about 3 times of glucose.
