What is the dissolved particles in the solutions?
Solvent
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.
Where is the higher solvent concentration?
The higher solvent concentration is where there are more solvent molecules relative to the solute molecules. This results in a more dilute solution with a lower solute concentration.
Why is the curve for the freezing of a solution different in slope from the freezing of the solvent?
The curve for the freezing of a solution is different from that of the pure solvent because the presence of solute particles lowers the freezing point of the solution. This phenomenon is known as freezing point depression. The slope of the curve for the solution is less steep than that of the solvent due to this depression effect.
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.
What effect does a solute have on the freezing point of a solvent?
Adding a solute to a solvent results in the freezing point of the solution decreasing compared to the pure solvent. This is due to the solute molecules disrupting the formation of regular solvent crystal structures, which lowers the freezing point of the solution.
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?
The term for a cluster of solvent molecules surrounding a solute particle in solution is called a solvation shell. Solvation is the process in which solvent molecules surround and interact with solute particles, stabilizing them in the solution. The solvation shell is crucial for the dissolution and transport of solute particles in a solvent.
When a solute is added to solvent the freezing point of the solution is?
The freezing point is lowered.
A solute makes the freezing point of a solution lower than the freezing point of the pure solvent because?
The phenomenon you're describing is generally referred to as freezing-point depression, the lowering of the freeze point of a liquid (or solvent) by adding another compound. Freezing point depression is a phenomenon driven by entropic changes in the system containing solvent and solute. As the system is frozen, the solvent forms crystals of high purity regardless of solute molecules being present while solvent crystallizes. Replacement of any solute in the crystal with a solvent molecule takes place spontaneously, since the inability of solute molecules to fit well into the ordered crystal makes the solute-solvent substitution thermodynamically favorable. As the freezing proceeds, solvent molecules continue to leave the liquid state and incorporate into the solid crystal, with each such occurrence leaving behind a smaller volume of liquid in which solute molecules can occupy. The shrinking of liquid volume occupied by a fixed number of solute molecules reduces the dispersion of solute molecules in the liquid, resulting in a reduction of entropy of the solute molecules. Thus, additional energy is required to match the reduced entropy of the solute molecules with that of the solid solvent crystal. The energy required (versus pure solvent) to gap the entropic difference (thus difference in chemical potential) to establish equilibrium but at a freezing temperature lower than that of the pure substance. Note that at low solute concentrations, freezing point depression is a property that depends solely of the number of solute particles and physical properties of the solute. Such properties are called colligative properties.

Which is the first step in the dissolving process The solute becomes like the solvent. The solute molecules are carried into the solution. The solvent molecules surround the solute particles. The solv?
The first step in the dissolving process is "The solvent molecules surround the solute particles".
What happens to a solution when solute is added?
If the solute is soluble, it will dissolve in the solvent.
What is the forming of a solution?
dissiolve the solute in the solvent and u have a solution.
When a solute is added to a solvent the freezing point of the solution is?
lowered. This is known as freezing point depression, where the presence of the solute disrupts the formation of regular solvent-solvent interactions, reducing the freezing point of the solution compared to the pure solvent.
What is the solid that dissolves in the solvent?
The solid that dissolves in the solvent is called the solute. When the solute is added to the solvent, it disperses into individual molecules or ions that become surrounded by the solvent molecules, resulting in a homogenous mixture known as a solution.
What is the relationship between solute concentration and the freezing point elevation of a solution?
The relationship between solute concentration and the freezing point elevation of a solution is that as the concentration of solute increases, the freezing point of the solution decreases. This is because the presence of solute particles disrupts the formation of the crystal lattice structure of the solvent, causing the freezing point to be lower than that of the pure solvent.
