What happens to freezing point of benzene when small quantity of napthalene is added to benzene?
What happens to freezing point of benzene when small quantity of napthalene is added to benzene?
- Increases
- Remains unchanged
- First decreases and then increases
- Decreases
Solution
Depression in Freezing point can be calculated as,
When a non-volatile component is added to the solvent, its freezing point decreases. Here, Napthalene is a non-volatile substance which decreases the freezing point of benzene.
On addition of naphthalene to benzene there is depression in freezing point of benzene.
Hence, the answer is option D.
