Question:

A sample of an ionic solid is dissolved in 1.00 kg of water. The freezing point of the water is −0.01°C. If three times the mass of ionic solid is dissolved in 1.00 kg of water and the resulting freezing point of the solution is −0.09°C, which of the following would be possible formulas for the solid: MX, MX2, or MX3, where M represents a metal cation and X an anion with a 1-charge? Explain your reasoning.
