Solution
The freezing point depression (∆Tf) is calculated using the formula:
∆Tf = Kf * m * i
where:
- ∆Tf is the freezing point depression,
- Kf is the cryoscopic constant (for water it is 1.86 °C/m),
- m is the molality of the solution,
- i is the van't Hoff factor (number of particles the solute splits into in solution).
For most salts, i is typically 2, but it can vary. If we assume i is 2 for this problem, we can substitute the given values into the formula:
∆Tf = 1.86 °C/m * 2.25 m * 2 = 8.37 °C
The new freezing point of the solution is the original freezing point minus the freezing point depression:
New freezing point = Original freezing point - ∆Tf New freezing point = 0 °C - 8.37 °C = -8.37 °C
