What 2 solute molecules mixed with the solvent molecules in a solution cause the freezing point of a solution to be than it is for an equal volume of pure?
lower, solvent, lower, solvent
What is the effect of impurities on the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water?
The freezing point of water decreases when the number of dissolved molecules (or better particles) in the solvent increases. This is called freezing point depression and you can easily find the relation between the quantity of particles dissolved and the freezing point on Wikipedia.
Is the enzymes affected temporarily or permanents?
That depends on the physical conditions. High temperatures, some substances or changes in pH cause enzymes to be permanently denatured. Very low temperatures and the presence of some inhibitors cause enzymes to be temporarily unable to catalyse reactions.
How do you dissolve more solute in a solvent?
If the solute is soluble, it will dissolve in the solvent.

What will adding solute to pure solvents cause?
Adding a solute to a pure solvent will lower the freezing point, elevate the boiling point, and lower the vapor pressure.
What is a freezing fog advisory?
A Freezing Fog Advisory will be issued when fog is present with temperatures below freezing, and the fog is expected to cause a thin layer of ice
What is the cause of the ice in antarctica?
All ice -- everywhere on earth -- results from precipitation combined with freezing temperatures.
Is frost bite one word?
Yes, "frostbite" is one word. It refers to a condition in which freezing temperatures cause damage to skin and other tissues.
What happens to nylon parts in freezing conditions?
Nylon parts in freezing conditions can possibly seize. Colder temperatures will effect the functionality of nylon and can possibly cause a malfunction.
What are the two Fahrenheit temperatures which begin to cause damage to wine?
320 (freezing) and roughly 700 (over-oxidizing)
What effect do fluctuating temperatures have on rocks?
Fluctuating temperatures have diverse effects on rocks. This may cause freezing, thawing and break down of the rocks among other effects.
Does changing temperatures affect how long a pen will write?
Yes, in most cases. Many pens will not write in freezing temperatures, while high temperatures can cause increased pressure in the well and expulsion of excess ink.
What is the difference in frostbite and forstnip?
Frostbite is the destruction of tissue due to exposure to very low temperatures.
