Expert Solution
Step 1

Since the solution is aqueous. Hence the depression in freezing point is 

depression in freezing point = freezing point of water - freezing point of solution = 0 - (-0.88) = 0.88 oC

 

Step 2

Since depression in freezing point is also given by 

depression in freezing point = i X Kf X m 

where i = Van't Hoff factor = 1                                                      ( since sucrose is not electrolyte solute)

Kf = depression in freezing point constant = 1.86 oC m-1

m = molality of the solute

Hence substituting the values we get 

0.88 = 1 X 1.86 X m 

=> m = molality of sucrose = 0.473 mol/Kg
