Solution

The correct option is C 0.01 m glucose>0.01 m CH3COOH>0.01 m KCl
We know, ΔTb=iKfm
Here, ΔTb = depression of freezing point
ΔTb=freezing point of the pure solvent - freezing poin of the solution

Freezing point of solution1D.F.P
D.F.P. = Depression in freezing
Again, D.F.P.i×m
Where,
i = van't Hoff factor
and m = molality
Now,
Al2(SO4)32Al3++3SO24iAl2(SO4)3=5BaCl2Ba2++2CliBaCl2=3NaClNa++CliNaCl=2iglucose=1KClK++CliKCl=2iCH3COOH= greater than 1 but less than 2
because CH3COOH does not undergo 100% ionization.

Here, molality for all given solution are same. So depression in freezing (DFP) depend only on the value of 'i'
Increasing order of D.F.P can be given as
0.01 m glucose<0.01 m CH3COOH <0.01 m KCl<0.01 m BaCl2<0.01 m Al2(SO4)3
Hence,
Decreasing order of freezing point
0.01 m glucose>0.01 m CH3COOH>0.01 m KCl
