NEET Chemistry Colligative Properties MCQ Question
For 1 molal aqueous solution of the following compounds, which one will show the highest freezing point?
[Co(H₂O)₆]Cl₃
[Co(H₂O)₅Cl]Cl₂.H₂O
[Co(H₂O)₄Cl₂]Cl₂.2H₂O
[Co(H₂O)₃Cl₃].3H₂O
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The freezing point depression is inversely proportional to the number of ions in solution. [Co(H₂O)₆]Cl₃ dissociates into four ions, which is the least among the options, resulting in the highest freezing point.
