Solution
The correct option is CAl2(SO4)3 We know that, depression of freezing point ΔTf=i×Kf×mSo,ΔTf∝i i=van't Hoff factor
salt
i
KCl
2
C6H12O6
1
Al2(SO4)3
5
K2SO4
3
Hence, i is maximum i.e. 5 for Al2(SO4)3
Hence depression in freezing will be highest for Al2(SO4)3, as molality is constant for all the solutions given.
