Of the following,a 0.1 M aqueous solution of ________ will have the highest freezing point. A)NaCl B)Al(NO₃)₃ C)K₂CrO₄ D)Na₂SO₄ E)sucrose

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sucrose does not dissociate into ions in solution, unlike the ionic compounds listed in the other options. The freezing point depression of a solution depends on the number of particles in solution. Since sucrose remains as molecules rather than dissociating into ions, a 0.1 M solution of sucrose will have fewer particles than the solutions of ionic compounds, resulting in the highest (least depressed) freezing point among the options given.

Of the Following,a 0
