The boiling point elevation and freezing point depression of solutions have a number of partical applications. Ethylene glycol `(CH_(2)OH-CH_(2)OH)` is used in automobile radiatiors as an antifreeze because it lowers the freezing point of the coolant. The same substance also helps to prevent the radiator coolant from boiling away by elevating the boiling point. Ethylene glycol has low vapour pressure. We can also use glycerol as an antifreeze. In order for the boiling point elevation to occur, the solute must be non-volatile, but no such restriction applies to freezing point depression. For example, methanol `(CH_(3)OH)`, a fairly volatile liquid that boils only at `65^(@)C`, is sometimes used as an antifreeze in automobile radiators.
If the cost of glycerol, glycol, and methanol is same, then the sequence of economy to use these compounds as antifreeze will be

Options

A. Glycerol gt Glycol gt Methanol
B. Methanol gt Glycol gt Glycerol
C. Methanol = Glycol = Glycerol
D. Methanol gt Glycol `lt` Glycerol

Answer

B

Explanation

Methanol is lighter and has better depression in freezing point.
