Which one of the following 1 molal aqueous solutions will show maximum freezing point depression?

  1. A \(\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_3 Cl _3\right] \cdot 3 H _2 O\)
  2. B \(\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right] Cl _3\)
  3. C \(\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_5 Cl \right] Cl _2 \cdot H _2 O\)
  4. D \(\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_4 Cl _4\right] Cl _2 \cdot 2 H _2 O\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right] Cl _3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta T_f \propto i\) For \(\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_3 Cl _3\right] \cdot 3 H _2 O\), \(i = 1\). For \(\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right] Cl _3\), \(i = 1 + 3 = 4\). For \(\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_5 Cl \right] Cl _2 \cdot H _2 O\), \(i = 1 + 2 = 3\). For…
