The depression in freezing point of a solution is________________?

Correct answer: C. Both A. and B.

  • A. Inversely proportional to the mass of solvent
  • B. Directly proportional to the mole of solute
  • C. Both A. and B.
  • D. Neither A. nor B.

Explanation

The freezing-point depression is given by ΔTf = Kf m, where molality is moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. It is therefore directly proportional to moles of solute and inversely proportional to the mass of solvent.
