Answer:

The first one among the four attached graphs correctly shows the effect on the freezing point caused by increasing the molality of a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

According to colligative property of molecules-
\Delta T_(f)=k_(f).m

where
\Delta T_(f) is the depression in freezing point
(F_(p))


k_(f) is cryogenic constant of solvent and m is molality of solution

As
k_(f) is constant for a certain solvent therefore the above relation is similar to linear equation y=mx. here y represents
\Delta T_(f) and x represents m

So a graph between
\Delta T_(f) and m would give straight line passing through origin

If we extrapolate the first graph by joining all the points then it will give a straight line passing through origin.

Hence the first graph is the correct one depicting change in freezing point with molality
