Which of the following aqueous liquids will have the lowest freezing point? A) 0.5 m C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (sucrose) B) 0.5 m Ca(NO₃)₂ C) 0.5 m NiSO₄ D) 0.5 m Li₃PO₄ E) pure water

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The freezing point depression is determined by the van't Hoff factor (i), which is the number of particles the solute dissociates into. Li₃PO₄ dissociates into 4 ions (3 Li⁺ and 1 PO₄³⁻), which is the highest among the given options, leading to the greatest freezing point depression.
