When 10 grams of sodium chloride nacl dissolves in 100 grams of water the freezing point of the water goes down to -5.9C. when 10 grames of table suger c12hg22o11 dissolves in 100 grames of water the?

Answer 1

The freezing point depression for a solution depends on the number of particles dissolved, not the type of solute. Since sodium chloride (NaCl) dissociates into two ions (Na+ and Cl-), it contributes more to the freezing point depression than table sugar (C12H22O11), which does not dissociate and remains as one particle. Therefore, the freezing point depression caused by table sugar will be less than that caused by sodium chloride.
