Answer: Freezing point depression of 0.1m nacl solution nearly twice that of 0.1m glucose solution because NaCl is a strong electrolyte and it dissociates to give two ions Na^+ and Cl^{-}, whereas glucose (C_6H_{12}O_6) is a non electrolyte and it does not dissociate to give ions.

Depression in freezing point :


Formula used for lowering in freezing point is,


\Delta T_f=i\times k_f\times m


where,


T_f = change in freezing point


i= vant hoff factor

k_f = freezing point constant


m = molality

for complete dissociation of NaCl, i=2 whereas for glucose i=1.
