Explain Depression of freezing point?
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 10 months ago

  • Freezing point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapour pressure
    of the substance in its liquid phase is equal to the vapour pressure in the solid phase.
  • If the vapour pressure of the solution is equal to the vapour pressure of the pure solid solvent then the solution freezes.
  • According to Raoult’s law, addition of non-volatile solute decreases the vapour pressure of the solvent and would be equal to that of solid solvent at lower This decreases the freezing point of thesolvent.
  • The decrease in the freezing point = ΔTf = Tf – Tf0. This is known as depression in freezing point.

Tf0 = freezing point of pure solvent

Tf0 = freezing point when non-volatile solute is dissolved
