Given below are two statements $:$
Statement $(I) : NaCl$ is added to the ice at $0^{\circ} C$,present in the ice cream box to lower the freezing point of the mixture,which helps in keeping the ice cream frozen.
Statement $(II) :$ On addition of $NaCl$ to ice at $0^{\circ} C$,there is a depression in freezing point.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

  • A
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • D
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false

Calculate the molality of a solution containing a non-volatile solute if the solution freezes at $-0.95^{\circ}C$ $[K_f \text{ for water} = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}, \text{ freezing point of water} = 0^{\circ}C]$.

An aqueous solution containing $0.2 \ g$ of a non-volatile solute '$A$' in $21.5 \ g$ of water freezes at $272.814 \ K$. If the freezing point of water is $273.16 \ K$,the molar mass (in $g \ mol^{-1}$) of solute '$A$' is $[K_f(H_2O) = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}]$

How does sprinkling of salt help in clearing the snow-covered roads in hilly areas? Explain the phenomenon involved in the process.

The normal freezing point $(f.p.)$ of nitrobenzene is $278.82 \ K$. If a non-volatile solute is dissolved in it and a solution of $0.25 \ molality$ is prepared,the observed freezing point of the solution is $276.82 \ K$. Evaluate the cryoscopic constant $(K_f)$ of nitrobenzene in $K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
