A 4% solution (w/w) of sucrose (M 342 g `mol^(-1)`) in water has a freezing point of 271.15K Calculate the freezing point of 5% glucose (M= 180 g `mol^(-1)`) in water.
(Given: Freezing point of pure water 273.15 K)

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the freezing point of a 5% glucose solution in water, given that a 4% sucrose solution has a freezing point of 271.15 K. We will use the freezing point depression formula:

\[ \Delta T_f = K_f \cdot i \cdot m \]

Where:
- \(\Delta T_f\) = depression in freezing point
