Prepare two ice and place it where both can be

Add salt on the other one, and don’t do anything to
the other.

Observe the changes that will happen.

Identify which dissolve faster.

IP GIN in Solution
• The freezing point of water is 0℃,
but the melting point can be
T depressed by adding on a solvent
such as a salt.

• The use of ordinary salt (sodium


chloride, NaCl) on icy roads in the
winter helps to melt the ice from the
roads by lowering the melting point
of the ice.

IP GIN Point
1. Depression:
Nature of the solute:
•Non-volatile – The solute should

T not readily evaporate at the


solution’s temperature
• Electrolyte vs Non-electrolyte:
Electrolyte dissociate into ions in
solution, increasing the number of
particles and the freezing point
depression. Non-electrolytes do not
dissociate and have a smaller
effect.

IP GIN Point Depression:
2. Concentration of the Solute: The

T more the solute particles


present in the solution, the greater
the freezing point depression.
3. Cryoscopic Constant: This
property specific to the solvent,
indicating how much the freezing
point will be lowered for a 1 molal
solution.
Practical Application:
1. Antifreeze: Antifreeze (ethylene
glycol) is added to car radiators to
lower the freezing point of the coolant,
preventing the engine from freezing in
cold weather.
2. Salting Roads: Salt are spread in the
roadsto lower the freezing point of
water, preventing the formation of ice
and improving traction for vehicles.
3. Food Preservation: Salting the food
lowers the freezing point of water
within the food, inhibiting bacterial
growth and spoilage.
Calculate the freezing point elevation (ΔTf
) relative to the pure solvent using the
formula:

ΔTf = (K f m)
Where:

ΔT = freezing point depression
f
fK = Cryoscopic Constant
mC = concentration, molality
ΔTf = f T f-
Where: T

f = freezing point depression
f T = freezing point of solution

478 grams of ethyleneglycol (EG), CH2(OH)CH2(H) in
3202 g of H2O.

The freezing point of a


solution is -4.48°C
Example:
Aqueous solution contains the amino acids glycine (). Assuming
that the acid does not immunize in , calculate the molality of the
solutions if it freezes at -1.10°C.

Van’t Hoff Factor
• Represents by small letter “i”

• Nonelectrolytes are substances with no ions,


only molecules. Electrolytes, on the other hand,
are composed mostly of ionic compounds, and
essentially all soluble ionic compounds form
electrolytes.

• Therefore, if we can establish that if the


substance is covalent we may attempt to solve
problem using our formulas.
Van’t Hoff Factor Formula
• To get the Van’t Hoff Factor, the formula is:

Where:
= fraction of solute that dissociates
= number of ions produced

Example: NaCl
• = 1 (complete dissociation)
• = 2 (and )

molality, m = = =0.4 m

Therefore the freezing point depression is -3.12°C
