NaCl is an electrolyte and it dissociates completely whereas glucose being a non-electrolyte does not dissociate. Hence, the number of particles in 0.1 M NaCl solution is nearly double for NaCI solution than that for glucose solution of same molarity.

Therefore depression in freezing point being a colligative property ¡s nearly twice for NaCl solution than that for glucose solution of same molarity.
