Q. The freezing point depression constant for water is 1.86 K kg$mol^{- 1}$. If 45 g of ethylene glycol is mixed with 600 g of water , the freezing point of the solution is

A) 2.2 K
B) 270.95 K
C) 273 K
D) 275.35 K
Explanation

(b)
$\mathrm{\Delta}T_{f} = K_{f}m$
=$\frac{1.86 \times 45 \times 1000}{62 \times 600}\ \ \ \$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 2.2\ \ \ \ \ \ \$
Freezing point of solution =273.15K-2.2 K
=270.95 K
