calculation of freezing point
« on: July 04, 2017, 07:19:33 AM »
hi
i am trying to figure out the way to calculate the freezing point of an aqueous solution which have 5 different components.

if someone can refer me to an example or give me and example it will be great
thanks in advance

First of all, what substances are we talking about?

Also, are we wanting to determine this freezing-point algebraically or experimentally?

Your best bet for determining it algebraically is the freezing-point depression equation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing-point_depression
However, it does require knowledge of how the mixture was made, such as quantities of solutes and solvent. Also, depending on the situation (such as the concentration of the solution, and the activity of solute particles) the determined value can vary in accuracy.

I hope this helps.
