    The freezing point of water is depressed by \[\text{0}\text{.37}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\] in a 0.01 molal NaCI solution. The freezing point of 0.02 molal solution of urea is depressed by

    A)  \[0.37{{\,}^{o}}C\]                         

    B)  \[0.74{{\,}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[0.185{{\,}^{o}}C\]                       

    D)  \[0{{\,}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     As we know that, \[\Delta {{t}_{f}}=i\,{{k}_{j}}m\] where, \[\Delta {{t}_{f}}=\]depression in freezing point \[i=\]vant-Hoff factor \[m=\]molality and  \[{{k}_{f}}=\] freezing point depression constant. For 0.01 molal NaCI solution \[0.37=2\times {{k}_{f}}\times 0.01\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{k}_{f}}=\frac{0.37}{2\times 0.01}\]                    ?(i) For 0.02 molal urea solution \[\Delta {{t}_{f}}=1\times {{k}_{f}}\times 0.02\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[{{k}_{f}}=\frac{\Delta {{t}_{f}}}{0.02}\]                               ?(ii) From Eqs (i) and (ii) \[\frac{0.37}{2\times 0.01}=\frac{\Delta {{t}_{f}}}{0.02}\] \[\Delta {{t}_{f}}=\frac{0.37\times 0.02}{2\times 0.01}\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[\Delta {{t}_{f}}=0.37{{\,}^{o}}C\]
