What is the freezing point depression of a solution directly proportional to?
  1. The molar mass of the solute
  2. The number of solute particles
  3. The volume of the solvent
  4. The temperature of the solvent

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the freezing point depression of a solution directly proportional to?
  • Step 1: Understand what freezing point depression means. It is the lowering of the freezing point of a solvent when a solute is added.
  • Step 2: Know that when you add a solute to a solvent, it creates more particles in the solution.
  • Step 3: Realize that the more solute particles you have, the more the freezing point will drop.
  • Step 4: Conclude that freezing point depression is directly related to the number of solute particles present in the solution.
