Question:easy

Which of the following concentrations of solutions of urea in water exhibits minimum freezing point depression?

Show Hint

Freezing point depression is proportional to molality, so pick the lowest molality.

  • \(0.12\) m
  • \(0.18\) m
  • \(0.08\) m
  • \(0.06\) m
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Reduce to a comparison
Since $i$ and $K_f$ are the same for all four urea solutions, ranking the depressions is the same as ranking the molalities.

Step 2: Pick the smallest
The lowest molality is 0.06 m, so it gives the least lowering of the freezing point. Answer (D).

Final Answer:
The least concentrated solution, 0.06 m, has the minimum freezing point depression, option (D). \[ \boxed{0.06\ \text{m}} \]
