Answer:
Compound B has greater molar mass.
Explanation:
The depression in freezing point is given by ;
..[1]
Where:
i = van't Hoff factor
= Molal depression constant
m = molality of the solution
According to question , solution with 5.00 g of A in 100.0 grams of water froze at at lower temperature than solution with 5.00 g of B in 100.0 grams of water.
The depression in freezing point of solution with A solute:
Molar mass of A =
The depression in freezing point of solution with B solute:
Molar mass of B =
As we can see in [1] , that depression in freezing point is inversely related to molar mass of the solute.
This means compound B has greater molar mass than compound A,
