What effect does a solute have on the freezing point of a solvent?

When any solute is dissolved into a solvent, the freezing point will always go down.

Solvent


What are the three properties of a solution?

1. Vapor pressure lowering: the decrease in vapor pressure with increasing the number of solute molecules in solution. 2. Boiling point elevation: the increase in boiling point with increasing number of solute molecules in solution. 3. Freezing point depression: the decrease in freezing point with increasing number of solute molecules in solution. 4. Osmotic pressure

The first step in the dissolving process is "The solvent molecules surround the solute particles".


What is a solute and solevent in a saltwater solution?

In a basic saltwater solution, the water molecules would be the solvent and the salt molecules would be the solute.


What effect does adding a solute to a solvent have on the freezing point of the solvent?

the temperature at which the solution freezes is lowered.


Why does a solute depress the freezing point of a solution?

A solute depresses the freezing point of a solution because the solute can not fit perfectly into the crystal lattice of the solid solvent. The normal crystal lattice is the lowest energy arrangement of the molecules or ions of the solid solvent. Therefore, the disordered lattice of a solvent freezing in the presence of a solute has at least slightly higher energy than the lattice of a solid pure solvent and requires at least a slightly lower temperature to solidify.


What is the term for a cluster of solvent molecules surrounding a solute particle in solution?

Solvent Cage


What happen when solutes and solvent are mixed?

when the solute is mixed to the solvent, the solute brakes down and fits into the spaces between the molecules and form a solution


Does the presence of solute molecules make a solution freeze at a lower temperature than a pure solvent?

Yes, this phenomenon is called freezing-point depression .


How does the boiling point of a solvent change when a solute is dissolved in it how does the freezing point change?

The boiling point rises and the freezing point lowers.The reason being, when a solute dissolves in a solvent, the solute molecules wedge themselves between the solvent molecules. In order for the solvent to freeze, its molecules have to get close enough together to form a solid. However, the solute molecules are in the way. As a result, it requires much colder temperatures for the solvent molecules to form a solid, despite the hindrance of the solute's molecules. The same sort of thing happens when trying to boil the solvent, only instead of holding the solvent molecules apart, the solute molecules end up holding them together, preventing them from boiling. Therefore, a more energy is needed to break the bond between solvent and solute, which allows the solvent to boil.
