    Of the following 0.10 m aqueous solutions, which one will exhibit the largest freezing point depression? [AIPMT 2014]

    A) KCl

    B)

    C)

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}\] (freezing point depression) is a colligative property and depends upon the van't Hoff factor
    (i) i.e., number of ions given by the electrolyte
    in aqueous solution.
    \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=i\times {{K}_{f}}\times m\]
    where, \[{{K}_{f}}\] = molal freezing point depression
    constant.
    m = molality of the solution
    \[\therefore \]\[{{K}_{f}}\] and m are constant, \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}\propto i\]
    \[KCl(aq){{K}^{+}}(aq)+C{{l}^{-}}(aq),\]
    (Total ions = 2 thus, i = 2)
    \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}no\,ions[i=0]\]
    \[A{{l}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}(aq)2A{{l}^{3+}}+3SO_{4}^{2-}\]
    [Total ions = 5, thus, i  = 5]
    \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}(aq)2{{K}^{+}}+SO_{4}^{2-}\]
    [Total ions = 3, t Thus, i  = 3]
    Hence, \[A{{l}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\] will exhibit largest freezing point depression due to the highest value of i.
