    If 15 g of a solute in 100 g of water makes the solution freeze at\[-1{}^\circ C\], then 30 g. of the same solute in 100 g of water will make the solution freeze at:

    A)  \[-\,2{}^\circ C\]           

    B)         \[-\,0.5{}^\circ C\]         

    C)         \[0{}^\circ C\]                  

    D)         \[2{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We know that, \[m=\frac{1000{{K}_{f}}.w}{\Delta T\cdot W}\] (As the solute and solvent are same in both cases), hence: \[\frac{{{W}_{1}}}{{{W}_{1}}}=\Delta {{T}_{1}}\]and \[\frac{{{W}_{2}}}{{{W}_{2}}}=\Delta {{T}_{2}}\] or            \[\frac{{{W}_{1}}\cdot {{W}_{2}}}{{{W}_{1}}\cdot {{W}_{2}}}=\frac{\Delta {{T}_{1}}}{\Delta {{T}_{2}}}\] \[\frac{15\times 100}{100\times 30}=\frac{[(0)-(-1)]}{\Delta {{T}_{2}}}\] \[\Delta {{T}_{2}}=2\times 1=2{}^\circ \] Hence, now water will freeze at\[(0-2)=-2{}^\circ C\]
