Q. 20 g of binary electrolyte (mol. wt. =100) are dissolved in 500 g of water. The depression in freezing point of the solution is $0.74℃$ ($k_{f} = 1.86\ Km^{- 1})$ the degree of ionisation of the electrolyte is

A) 0%
B) 100%
C) 75%
D) 50%
Explanation

(a)
$\mathrm{\Delta}T = \frac{1000 \times k_{f} \times w}{m \times 500}$
0.74=$\frac{1000 \times 1.86 \times 20}{m \times 500}$
m=100
Actual molecular mass =100
$\therefore$ The degree of ionisation of the electrolyte is 0% .
