Question

Given below are two statements: Statement (I): NaCl is added to the ice at 0°C, present in the ice cream box to prevent the melting of ice cream. Statement (II): On addition of NaCl to ice at 0°C, there is a depression in freezing point. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Paaras Thakur · Accepted Answer

Statement I is false but Statement II is true. Strategy: Analyze the physics of freezing mixtures and colligative properties.Statement I: "NaCl is added... to prevent the melting of ice cream."- This is False. NaCl is added to ice to create a freezing mixture with a temperature significantly below 0°C (up to −21°C). This allows the ice cream to freeze or stay frozen. The mixture itself actually melts faster because it is a solution, but it absorbs heat from the ice cream to do so.Statement II: "On addition of NaCl to ice... there is a depression in freezing point."- This is True. Adding a non-volatile solute like NaCl to water lowers its freezing point (Raoult's Law).{\{Answer: (1)}}
