The image above represents the freezing point depression. To calculate the freezing point depression, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Van’t Hoff’s Factor (i), cryoscopic constant (Kf), and molality.
The formula for calculating freezing point depression:
δTf = iKf x Molality
Where;
δTf = Freezing point depression
i = Van’t Hoff’s Factor
Kf = cryoscopic constant
Molality
Let’s solve an example;
Find the freezing point depression when the van’t hoff’s factor is 12, the cryoscopic constant is 21 with a molality of 16.
δTf = iKf x Molality
That is, δTf = (12 x 21) x 16
δTf = 252 x 16
δTf = 4032
Therefore, the freezing point depression is 4032 °C m-1.
