Pure water freezes at $273 \ K$ and $1 \ bar$. The addition of $34.5 \ g$ of ethanol to $500 \ g$ of water changes the freezing point of the solution. Use the freezing point depression constant of water as $2 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$. The figures shown below represent plots of vapour pressure $(V.P.)$ versus temperature $(T)$. [Molecular weight of ethanol is $46 \ g \ mol^{-1}$]. Which of the following plots correctly represents the change in the freezing point?

  • A
    Plot $(A)$
  • B
    Plot $(B)$
  • C
    Plot $(C)$
  • D
    Plot $(D)$
