What will the nonvolatile solute do to the freezing point of a solvent?

This is the property of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. This is because of the solute absorbing the energy added to the system to heat its own molecules and so it would require more energy to boil the solvent. Likewise for freezing point depression, the molecules retain more energy.

What happens to a solvent when a nonvolatile solute is added to it?
It increases the boiling point of the solution and it increases the temperature range over which the solution remains a liquid.
What is the freezing point of sodium ferrocyanide solution?
This depends on: molality of the solute, dissociation of the solute, cryoscopic constant of the solvent.
Does adding more solute to a solvent raise its freezing point lower its boiling point raise its boiling point or does not affect its boiling point?
raise its freezing point
Why does the freezing point decrease when naphthalene is added in camphor?
When adding a solute to a solvent, the freezing point decreases and is also known as freezing-point depression. Hence when naphthalene is added to camphor the freezing point decreases.
The physical properties of a solution that differ from those of its solute and solvent include freezing point boiling point and what?
Conductivity
The presence of a nonvolatile solute will what the boiling point of a solvent?
RAISE
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.
What is it called when the presence of a nonvolatile solute will do what to the boiling point of a solvent?
Boiling point elevation
When a solute is added to solvent the freezing point of the solution is?
The freezing point is lowered.
When a solute is added to a solvent the freezing point of the solutions is?
The freezing point is lowered.
When a solute is added to a solvent the freezing point of solutions is?
The freezing point is lowered.
The change in the freezing point of a solvent by the addition of a solute is called?
freezing point depression ..
What effects do solutes have on a solvent's freezing and boiling boints?
The effect of a solute on the freezing point and boiling point of a solvent is related to what is known as the colligative property. Upon addition of the solute, the freezing point will be lowered, and the boiling point will be increased. The magnitude of the change will depend on the solute and how many particles it forms upon dissolving, and on the nature of the solvent and the freezing/boiling point constant for that solvent.
What happens to a solvent when a nonvolatile solute is added to it?
It increases the boiling point of the solution and it increases the temperature range over which the solution remains a liquid.
How does the addition of solute affect freezing and boiling point and vapor pressure on a solvent?
A non-volatile solute affects increases osmotic pressure. This is a colligative property. There will be a higher osmotic pressure required to prevent the solvent from flowing into the solution because the solvent has a higher chemical potential without solute in it.
What does the depression of the freezing point dependent on?
The depression of the freezing point is dependent on the nature of solvent and concentration of solute.
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.
