Question:

Correct order of freezing point of $ 1\,M $ solution of sucrose, $ KCl,\,BaCl_{2}$ and $ AlCl_{3}$ is

Updated On: Jun 16, 2024
  • Sucrose $ >KCl>BaCl_{2}>AlCl_{3} $
  • $ AlCl_{3}>BaCl_{2}>KCl >$ Sucrose
  • $BaCl_{2}>KCl>AlCl_{3}>$ Sucrose
  • $ KCl>BaCl_{2}>AlCl_{3}>$ Sucrose

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Depression in freezing point is a colligative property, it means that as the number of particles (ions) of solute increases, freezing point of the solution decreases. Sucrose $\longrightarrow$ not ionised $KCl \rightleftharpoons \underbrace{ K ^{+}+ Cl ^{-}}_{2 \text{ions} }$ $BaCl _{2} \rightleftharpoons \underbrace{ Ba ^{2+}+2 Cl ^{-}}_{3 \text { ions }}$ $AlCl _{3} \rightleftharpoons \underbrace{ Al ^{3+}+3 Cl ^{-}}_{4 \text { ions }}$ Hence, the correct order of freezing point is Sucrose $> KCl > BaCl _{2}> AlCl _{3}$

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
