Question

Compared with the freezing-point depression of a 0.01 m c6h12o6 solution, the freezing-point depression of a 0.01 m nacl solution is

Answer 1

Twice as much.

Step-by-step explanation:

That's because the freezing point depression depends on the total number of solute particles.

C₆H₁₂O₆(s) ⟶ C₆H₁₂O₆(aq)

0.01 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ gives 0.01 mol of solute particles.

NaCl(s) ⟶ Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

1 mol of NaCl gives 0.01 mol of Na⁺(aq) and 0.01 mol of Cl⁻(aq).

That's 0.02 mol of particles, so the freezing point depression of 0.01 mol·L⁻¹ NaCl will be twice that of 0.01 mol·L⁻¹ C₆H₁₂O₆.
