In coparison to a 0.01 M solution of glucose, the depression in freezing point of a 0.01 M `MgCl_(2)` solution is……

Options

A. The same
B. About twice
C. About three times
D. About six times

Answer

C

Explanation

As we know depression in freezing point is directly related to van’t Hoff factor (i) according to which greater the value of i greater will be the depression in freezing point.
`{:("Solution",i),("0.01M glucose",1),(0.01M MgCl_(2),3):}`
Hence, depression in freezing point of glucose is about 3 times of glucose.
