1.0 mole of NaCl is added to 1.0 kg of water. The freezing point of the solution will be ________ the freezing point of pure water.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of a solute (in this case, NaCl) in water always lowers the freezing point of the solution compared to the freezing point of pure water. This is due to the phenomenon of freezing point depression, where the solute particles disrupt the formation of ice crystals, making it more difficult for the solution to solidify. Therefore, the freezing point of the solution will be lower than the freezing point of pure water.
