The more particles (ions or molecules) that you can put into solution, the lower the freezing point.

the answer is E. 2.0 M nacl

Answer:

2.0 m nacl

Step-by-step explanation:

Depression of freezing point is given by the equation:

ΔTf = m. Kf. i

where i is the Van't Hoff factor, m is the molality, and Kf is the freezing point depression constant.

As per the formula, depression of freezing point is directly proportional to the molality. 2.0 m NaCl has the highest molaity and will have the maximum depression in freezing point. As a result it will also have the lowest freezing point.
