Question
### Determining the Solution with the Lowest Freezing Point

**Question:**
Which of the following two solutions has the lowest freezing point, Solution A or Solution B? For simplicity, assume each solution has a density of 1.0 g/mL. You are required to show all of your work clearly and then justify your choice (Solution A or Solution B) using full sentences.

**Solutions Provided:**
- **Solution A:** 10 mass percent solution of sodium chloride in water
- **Solution B:** 10 mass percent solution of ammonium sulfate in water

### Steps to Determine Freezing Point Depression

1. **Calculate Molarity of each Solution:**
   - For NaCl: 
     - Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
     - 10 mass percent solution means 10 g of NaCl in 100 g of solution.
     - Given the density is 1.0 g/mL, 100 g solution is 100 mL or 0.1 L.
     - Moles of NaCl in 10 g = 10 g / 58.44 g/mol = 0.171 mol.
     - Molarity (M) = 0.171 mol / 0.1 L = 1.71 M.

   - For (NH₄)₂SO₄:
     - Molar mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ = 132.14 g/mol
     - 10 mass percent solution means 10 g of (NH₄)₂SO₄ in 100 g of solution.
     - Given the density is 1.0 g/mL, 100 g of solution is 100 mL or 0.1 L.
     - Moles of (NH₄)₂SO₄ in 10 g = 10 g / 132.14 g/mol = 0.076 mol.
     - Molarity (M) = 0.076 mol / 0.1 L = 0.76 M.

2. **Account for Dissociation in Water:**
   - NaCl dissociates into 2 ions (Na⁺ and Cl⁻).
   - (NH₄)₂SO₄ dissociates into 3 ions (2 NH₄⁺ and 1 SO₄²⁻).

3. **Calculate the Van't Hoff Factor
