Solutions are made that contain 0.10 moles of each of the following compounds in 100 g of H₂O. Choose the compound whose solution will have the highest freezing point. A) K₂SO₄ B) NaI C) Mg(CH₃CO₂)₂ D) Ca₃(PO₄)₂ E) Sr(NO₃)₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The freezing point depression is determined by the number of particles in solution. NaI dissociates into 2 ions (Na⁺ and I^-), which is fewer than the other compounds, resulting in the least depression of the freezing point and thus the highest freezing point.
