Freezing Points of varying molal solutions
« on: December 10, 2006, 11:37:59 AM »
How could you arrange the following aqueous solutions in order of increasing freezing points?

0.10 m glucose, 0.10 m BaCl2, 0.20 m NaCl and 0.20 m Na2SO4

What lowers freezing point?

the molality lowers freezing point. does molar mass have anything to do with this?

Just molality? What if the substance dissociates?

remember the formula for freezing point depression: delta Tf = Kf * m * a

--> m = molality and a is amount of dissociation.

ohh! thanks. my teacher never taught me about the amount of dissociation part.
