    Which of the following shows maximum depression in freezing point?

    A)  \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)  \[NaCl\]

    C)  Urea          

    D)  Glucose

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Depression in freeing point is a colligative properly. It depends on no. of particles. More the number of particles, more will be depression in freezing point. [a] \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}2{{K}^{+}}+SO_{4}^{2-}\]                 It gives 3 particles                 [b] \[NaCl\xrightarrow{{}}N{{a}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}\]                 It gives 2 particles [c] Urea \[\xrightarrow{{}}\] No dissociation. [d] Glucose \[\xrightarrow{{}}\] No dissociation. \[\because \] \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] produces maximum number of particles \[\therefore \] \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] has maximum depression in freezing point.
