    Which of the following shows maximum depression in freezing point?

    A) \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]                 

    B) \[NaCl\]

    C) Urea                     

    D)        Glucose

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Depression in freezing point is a colligative property. It depends on no. of particles. More the number of particles, more will be depression in freezing point. (a)\[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}2{{K}^{+}}+SO_{4}^{2-}\] If give 3 particles (b) \[NaCl\xrightarrow{{}}N{{a}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}\]                 It gives 2 particles                 (c) Urea\[\xrightarrow{{}}\]No dissociation.                 (d) Glucose\[\xrightarrow{{}}\]No dissociation. \[\because \]\[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]produces maximum number of particles \[\therefore \] \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]has maximum depression in freezing point.
