Which of the following will have the lowest freezing point? A) 0.1 M acetic acid, HC₂H₃O₂ B) 0.1 M hydrochloric acid, HCl C) 0.1 M hydrofluoric acid, HF D) All have the same freezing point.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid and dissociates completely in solution, resulting in more particles compared to acetic acid and hydrofluoric acid, which are weak acids and do not fully dissociate. More particles in solution lead to a lower freezing point due to colligative properties.
