-One mole of particles lowers the freezing point of 1,000 g of water by 1.76ºC.What is the freezing point of a solution containing one mole of NaNO₃ in 1,000 g of water?

Question

-One mole of particles lowers the freezing point of 1,000 g of water by 1.76ºC.What is the freezing point of a solution containing one mole of NaNO<sub>3</sub> in 1,000 g of water? A) 30.24ºC B) 28.48ºC C) -1.76ºC D) -3.52ºC

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since one mole of particles lowered the freezing point by 1.76ºC, two moles of particles will lower the freezing point by 3.52ºC. Therefore, the freezing point of the solution containing one mole of NaNO₃ will be 0ºC - 3.52ºC = -3.52ºC.
