        An aqueous solution of urea freezes at 272.8 K. An equimolar solution of acetic acid in water will freeze at

    A)  272.8 K                                

    B)  272.79 K

    C)  272.81 K                             

    D)  272.6 K

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Acetic acid is a weak acid\[({{K}_{9}}=1.8\times {{10}^{-5}})\]and ionizes to a very small extent hence,\[\Delta {{t}_{f}}\]for \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]solution is very slightly greater than that of urea solution. Therefore, freezing point of\[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]solution will be slightly less than urea solution.
