Freezing-Point Depression Equation Using Solvent Properties

Freezing-point depression is the process in which adding a solute to a solvent decreases the freezing point of the solvent.

The freezing-point depression equals the product of the molar gas constant, solvent molar mass, solvent freezing point squared and solution molarity divided by the solvent molar enthalpy of fusion.

Formula
