Document Summary

Chm120 pre-lab 3: the freezing point of a solution is the temperature at which crystals just begin to form. The temperature at which the solid first forms is lower than the freezing point of the pure liquid solvent (supercooling). In other words, the concentration of the solution increases as pure solvent freezes. Tfp = m kfp, the change in freezing point temperature is proportional to the concentration, in molality, of the solution. So, if the concentration of the solution continues to increase the absolute value of the change in freezing point temperature continues to increase proportionately: in this particular experiment, we must read the thermometer twice. Once to determine the normal freezing point and twice to determine the depressed freezing point. If the thermometer reads too high, then it read too high each time by 2 degrees. Thus, the difference in delta t ( t= m * kfp) does not change.
