Question

Which of the following equimolal ($0.10	ext{ m}$) aqueous solutions will have the highest freezing point (closest to $0^\circ	ext{C}$)? (Assume equal and complete ionization where applicable).

Correct answer: A. The highest freezing point corresponds to the *smallest* depression (), which requires the smallest van't Hoff factor (). Glucose is a non-electrolyte (), providing the fewest particles and thus the least depression compared to the salts.
