    What should be the freezing point of aqueous solution containing 17 g of \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\] in 1000 g of water (water \[{{k}_{f}}={{1.86}^{o}}kg\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]) ?

    A)  \[-{{0.69}^{o}}C\]           

    B)  \[{{0.34}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[{{0.0}^{o}}C\]                               

    D)  \[{{0.24}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Depression in freezing point \[(\Delta {{T}_{f}})\]                 \[=\frac{1000\times {{k}_{f}}\times w}{m\times W}\] where, \[{{k}_{f}}\] is molar depression constant, w and W are the weights of solute and solvent, m is the molecular weight of solute.                 \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=\frac{1000\times 1.86\times 17}{46\times 1000}\]                 \[={{0.69}^{o}}C\] Freezing point of solution,                 \[{{T}_{f}}=0-0.69=-{{0.69}^{o}}C\]
