Which of the following aqueous solutions should have the lowest freezing point? A)1.0 m C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ B)1.0 m NaNO₃ C)1.0 m NaCl D)1.0 m MgCl₂ E)All should have the same freezing point

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The freezing point depression is proportional to the number of particles in solution. MgCl₂ dissociates into three ions (Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻), resulting in the highest number of particles and thus the lowest freezing point among the given options.
