Solution

The correct option is C 3 g
Freezing point depression of a solution is given by,
Tf=Kf×m
where,
Tf is the depression in freezing point.
Kf is molal depression constant.
m is molality of the solution.
From the above equation,
We know that,
ΔT=Kf×w×1000M×W
where,
w is weight of solute
W is weight of solvent
M is molar mass of the solute
Given:
1 ccmL
Density of water is 1 g/mL
Thus,
Weight of water =500×1500 g
Molar mass of urea, M=60 g mol1
Depression in freezing point, Tf=0.186C
Molal depression constant, Kf=1.86C kg mol1
Substituting the given values in above equation gives,
0.186=1.86×w×100060×500w=3 g
Thus, the amount of urea dissolved is 3 g
