Of the following four aqueous solutions, the total number of those solutions whose freezing point is lower than that of 0.10MC2H5OH is (Integer answer)
(i) 0.10M Ba3PO42
(ii) 0.10M Na2SO4
(iii) 0.10M KCl
(iv) 0.10M Li3PO4

Solution

ΔTf=ikfm

As m is the same for all solutions so ΔTf depends on Van't Hoff factor (i). Greater is i small is freezing point.

 Compound  i C2H5OH1Ba3PO425Na2SO43KCl2Li3PO44

So the given solutions have a lower freezing point than ethanol.
