Freezing Point Depression: The Molar Mass Of Solution

Satisfactory Essays

The molar mass of a substance is the mass of one mole of that substance.

M(Molar Mass)=(mass of solute)/(molality × kg solvents in solution);

Freezing point depression is a colligative property observed in solutions that results from the introduction of solute molecules to a solvent. The freezing points of solutions are all lower than that of the pure solvent and are directly proportional to the molality of the solute.

∆T=T_solvent-T_solution

∆T=m × K_f

If ionic solid is added to water, ions attract to the water molecules and interfere with the formation of the large network solid, ice. In order to achieve a solid, the solution must be cooled to an even lower temperature.
