Question

Relative to pure water, an aqueous sugar solution ________. relative to pure water, an aqueous sugar solution ________. has a lower freezing point because crystal formation is inhibited by the sugar molecules has the same freezing point because most of the solution is water molecules has a higher freezing point because crystal formation is promoted by the sugar molecules has a higher freezing point because crystal formation is inhibited by the sugar molecules has a lower freezing point because crystal formation is promoted by the sugar molecules

Answer 1

The sugar molecules will inhibit the amount of crystals formed. The freezing point of the sugar solution is lower than that of the pure water because there will be more molecules (water molecules plus sugar molecules) present in the solution.
