These questions consists of two statements each, printed as Statement-I and Statement-II. While answering these Questions you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.
Statement-I: Addition of ethylene glycol(non-volatile)to water lowers the freezing point of water hence used as antifreeze.
Statement-II: Addition of any substance to water lowers its freezing point.

The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements and arrive at a conclusion, we will break down the information provided in both statements step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement-I**: - The statement claims that the addition of ethylene glycol (a non-volatile solute) to water lowers the freezing point of water. - This is true because when a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent (in this case, water), it disrupts the formation of the solid phase (ice) and thus lowers the freezing point of the solution. 2. **Understanding Freezing Point Depression**: - The phenomenon where the freezing point of a solvent is lowered by the addition of a solute is known as freezing point depression. - The extent of freezing point depression can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m \] where: - \(\Delta T_f\) = change in freezing point - \(i\) = van 't Hoff factor (which is 1 for ethylene glycol) - \(K_f\) = freezing point depression constant for the solvent (water) - \(m\) = molality of the solution 3. **Conclusion for Statement-I**: - Since ethylene glycol is a non-volatile solute and its addition lowers the freezing point of water, Statement-I is **correct**. 4. **Understanding Statement-II**: - The statement claims that the addition of any substance to water lowers its freezing point. - This is **incorrect** because not all substances will lower the freezing point. Only non-volatile solutes (like ethylene glycol) will cause freezing point depression. Volatile solutes or certain types of solutes may not have this effect. 5. **Conclusion for Statement-II**: - Since the statement implies that any substance (including volatile solutes) will lower the freezing point, it is **incorrect**. ### Final Answer: - **Statement-I is correct** and **Statement-II is incorrect**.
