Question: Which of the following solutions will have the lowest freezing point?

Options:

  1. 0.1 M NaCl
  2. 0.1 M KBr
  3. 0.1 M MgCl2
  4. 0.1 M glucose

Correct Answer: 0.1 M MgCl2

Solution:

MgCl2 dissociates into 3 ions, leading to the greatest freezing point depression among the options.

  4. 0.1 M glucose

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following solutions will have the lowest freezing point?
Correct Answer: MgCl2
  • Step 1: Understand that when a substance dissolves in water, it can break apart into smaller particles called ions.
  • Step 2: Identify the substances in the question and how many ions each one produces when dissolved.
  • Step 3: For example, MgCl2 breaks into 3 ions: 1 magnesium ion (Mg2+) and 2 chloride ions (Cl-).
  • Step 4: The more ions a substance produces, the more it can lower the freezing point of the solution.
  • Step 5: Compare the number of ions produced by each option to determine which has the most.
  • Step 6: Conclude that since MgCl2 produces the most ions, it will have the lowest freezing point.
