    Correct order of freezing point of \[1M\]solution of sucrose,\[KCl,\,\,BaC{{l}_{2}}\]and\[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]is

    A) \[Sucrose>KCl>BaC{{l}_{2}}>AlC{{l}_{3}}\]

    B) \[AlC{{l}_{3}}>BaC{{l}_{2}}>KCl>Sucrose\]

    C) \[BaC{{l}_{2}}>KCl>AlC{{l}_{3}}>Sucrose\]

    D) \[KCl>BaC{{l}_{2}}>AlC{{l}_{3}}>Sucrose\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Depression in freezing point is a colligative property, it means that as the number of particles (ions) of solute increases, freezing point of the solution decreases.                 \[Sucrose\xrightarrow{{}}not\,\,ionised\]                  \[KCl\underbrace{{{K}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}}_{2\,\,ions}\]               \[BaC{{l}_{2}}\underbrace{B{{a}^{2+}}+2C{{l}^{-}}}_{3\,\,ions}\]                \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\underbrace{A{{l}^{3+}}+3C{{l}^{-}}}_{4\,\,ions}\] Hence, the correct order of freezing point is           \[Sucrose>KCl>BaC{{l}_{2}}>AlC{{l}_{3}}\]
