The molal freezing point constant kf is a property of the solvent not the solute What does this say about the fact that freezing point depends on the amount of solute rather than solute's nature?

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.
Which solutes will lower the freezing point of water the most?
Aluminum bromide (AlBr3) will lower the freezing point of water the most.
What property of water makes things dissolve?
Its ablility to separate solutes.
Which of these values is most responsible for changing the boiling and freezing points of a solvent?
Boiling point is dependent from pressure. Solutes also have a great impact on the freezing and boiling point.
Do solutes increase or decrease the boiling point of a solvent?
No; solutes don't decrease the boiling point of the solvent, they increase it! Solutes decrease the melting point of the solvent! Think of it this way: low goes lower (melting point) and high goes higher (boiling point).

What are two ways that solutes affect the properties of solvent?
Solutes lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of a solvent! :)
How do solutes change solvents?
They can change by lowering the freezing point.
Which solutes will lower the freezing point of water the most?
Aluminum bromide (AlBr3) will lower the freezing point of water the most.
Does sugar affect the freezing point of ice of water?
Yes it does. All solutes do.
Freezing point is the point at which a liquid turns into a solid What effect can change the freezing point?
Atmospheric pressure and the presence and concentrations of solutes affect the freezing point.
Which property is affected by the amount of solutes present?
Solubility
What property of water makes things dissolve?
Its ablility to separate solutes.
What substances dissolve when added to a liquid?
all i know is that solutes lower its freezing point but i kinda think they dissolve into a liquid.

Why does water freeze faster than coke and maple syrup?
Because water is pure; solutes decrease the freezing point of solvents.
