Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-2.3 \times 10^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

vant Hoff's factor \((i)=4\left\{3 \mathrm{~K}^{+}+\left(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right)^{3-}\right\} \quad\) Molality \(=\frac{0.1}{329} \times \frac{1000}{100}=\frac{1}{329}\)
\(\Rightarrow -\Delta T_f=i K_f \cdot m=4 \times 1.86 \times \frac{1}{329}\) \(=2.3 \times 10^{-2} \Rightarrow T_f=-2.3 \times 10^{-2}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
(As freezing point of water is \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) )
