Freezing point of a solution is smaller ...

Freezing point of a solution is smaller than freezing point of a solvent. It is due to :

A

`/_\H` of solution and solvent is almost identical since intermolecular force between solvent molecules are involved

B

`/_\S` solution (between solution and solid ) is lager than that of the `/_\S`of solvent (between solvent and solid)

C

`/_\S` of then solution is smaller than that of the solvent

D

`/_\H` of the solution is much higher than of solvent but `/_\S` of solvent than that of the solvent
