Four aqueous solutions, each of molality , are prepared. Assume that every electrolyte dissociates completely. Which solution has the highest freezing point?

  1. A
  2. BGlucose,
  3. C
  4. D

Answer: B

Depression of freezing point is , so the solution with the smallest number of particles per formula unit has the smallest depression and the highest freezing point. Glucose has , while , and have . Hence glucose gives the highest freezing point.
