Q

Freezing-point Depression

A

Book: the difference between the freezing points of the pure solvent and a solution of a nonelectrolyte in that solvent, and it is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solution.
Notes: a solution will freez at a lower temperature than the pure solvent.
