which aqueous solution has minimum freezing point ?

(a)0.01M NaCl

(b) 0.005M C2H5OH

(c) 0.005M MgI2

(d) 0.005M MgSO4

The simple inspection of the question show that (c) should be the correct choice because MgI2 will give 3 mol of ions for 1 mol of MgI2. However, as the given concentration of solute is more in case of NaCl i.e. 0.01M than MgI2 i.e. 0.005M. Therefore NaCl solution will have minimum freezing point.
Option (a) is correct.
