where ∆T is the quantity by which the freezing point is decreased, b is the molality of solute, and K
is an empirical

= 1.86 K kg mol
for water as found in Table 5.2).

We know molality is given by moles of solute over mass of solvent.

where in the second equation we’ve calculated the mass of water from the moles of water solvent and in the third
expression we’ve used the expression for n
calculated earlier.
