Freezing Point Depression Formula Elements

Variables
Depression in Freezing Point
The Depression in Freezing Point is the phenomena that describes why adding a solute to a solvent results in the lowering of the freezing point of the solvent.
Symbol: ΔTf
Measurement: TemperatureUnit: K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Cryoscopic Constant
The Cryoscopic Constant is described as the freezing point depression when a mole of non-volatile solute is dissolved in one kg of solvent.
Symbol: kf
Measurement: Cryoscopic ConstantUnit: K*kg/mol
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Molality
Molality is defined as the total number of moles of solute per kilograms of solvent present in the solution.
Symbol: m
Measurement: MolalityUnit: mol/kg
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
