    Which of the following solutions will have the minimum freezing points?

    A) \[0.01M\,NaCl\]

    B) \[0.005M\,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]

    C) \[0.0005M\,Mg{{I}_{2}}\]

    D) \[0.005\,M\,MgS{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The depression in freezing point is a colligative property. Thus, it depends upon number of particles or ions. More is the number of ions, minimum will be the freezing point.
    For \[0.01M\,NaCl,\]
    Number of ions \[=0.01\times 2=0.02\]
    For \[0.005\,M\,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH,\]
    Number of ions \[0.005\times 1=0.015\]
    For \[0.005\,M\,Mg{{I}_{2}},\]
    Number of ions \[=0.005\times 3=0.015\]
    For \[MgS{{O}_{4}},\]
    Number of ions \[=0.005\times 2=0.01\]
    As, \[0.01M\,NaCl\]has highest number of ions, so it will have minimum freezing point.
