A2.0 molal sugar solution has approximately the same freezing point as 1.0 molal solution of 1) cacl2 2) ch3cooh 3) nacl 4) c2h5oh

3) NaCl.

Explanation:

∵ ΔTf = iKf.m

where, i is the van 't Hoff factor.

Kf is the molal depression freezing constant.

m is the molality of the solute.

The van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass.

So, for sugar: i = 1.

∴ ΔTf for sugar = iKf.m = (1)(Kf)(2.0 m) = 2 Kf.

For NaCl, it is electrolyte compound which dissociates to Na⁺ and Cl⁻.

So, i for NaCl = 2.

∴ ΔTf for NaCl = iKf.m = (2)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 2 Kf.

So, the right choice is: 3) NaCl.
