Options:
  • A $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{NH}^{\mathrm{N}} \mathrm{H}_3 \stackrel{-}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{l}$
  • B $\mathrm{Ba}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2$
  • C $\mathrm{LaCl}_3$
  • D $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6$
Depression in freezing point $\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{iK}_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{m}$.
$$
\mathrm{i}=\frac{\text { Total no. of moles of particles after dissociation / association }}{\text { No. of moles of particles before dissociation / association }}
$$
Now, $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NHN}^{+} \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{Cl}^{-}, \mathrm{Ba}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2, \mathrm{LaCl}_3$ produces 2, 3 and 4 moles of ions after dissociation, respectively. Hence, depression in freezing point will be gradually increasing only $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6$ does not dissociate in aqueous solution. Therefore, it's solution will have the highest freezing point.
