229. Why is freezing point depression of 0.1 M sodium chloride solution nearly twice that of 0.1 M glucose solution?


Answer:

0.1M NaCl and0.1M glucose solution means that 0.1 moles of solute dissolve in 1L of solvent.

weight of solvent in both solution is same .
Dpression in freezing point can br calculated as :

Tf = Kf×wB×1000wA × MB

Where 
Kf = molal depression constant
wB = weight of solute
wA= weight of solvent
MB = molar mass of the solute

mass of NaCl = 58.69g/mol
mass of glucose = 180g/mol

The depression in freezingpoint is inversly proprotional to molar mass of solute thus more is molar mass of solute lesser is the depression in freezing point .
Thus it can explain that the NaCl wil be more than the glucose.
