Correct answer: D
-
Use the freezing point depression formula
The depression in freezing point is given by where:
- = van’t Hoff factor
- = cryoscopic constant of water
- = molality
Since all the given solutions are 0.10 M aqueous solutions, for dilute solutions we compare mainly through the van’t Hoff factor . The larger the number of solute particles produced in water, the larger the freezing point depression.

Examine each solute
(A) Hydrazine,
Hydrazine is a nonelectrolyte / very weak base in water and does not dissociate significantly into ions. Thus,
(B) Glucose
Glucose is a nonelectrolyte. It dissolves as molecules only.
(C) Glycine
Glycine exists predominantly as a zwitterion in aqueous solution: But this is still one solute entity in solution, not dissociation into multiple independent particles like a strong electrolyte. Hence effectively,
(D)
Potassium hydrogen sulfate dissociates in water as So at least it gives
Also, can further partially dissociate: This makes the effective number of particles even greater than 2 in water.
-
Compare van’t Hoff factors
- Hydrazine:
- Glucose:
- Glycine:
- : , approximately or slightly more effective due to further ionization
Therefore, produces the largest number of dissolved particles and hence the largest freezing point depression.

Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = D
My derived answer also = D, so they agree.
