This is not a common phenomenon. Usually it is boiling points that are elevated, and freezing points are depressed. It is possible that a freezing point could be raised (elevated) due to the presence of an impurity with a much higher freezing point.

Changes in boiling and freezing points are typically due to impurities in compound.

How does elevation effect freeze point?

As elevation increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. This causes the boiling point of water to decrease, but the freezing point remains relatively unaffected. Therefore, elevation does not significantly impact the freezing point of water.


List four properties of a solution that depend on the total concentration but not the type of particle or particles present as solute?

freezing point depression boiling point elevation osmotic pressure vapor pressure lowering


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?

Adding more solute to a solvent raises its boiling point and lowers its freezing point. This is known as boiling point elevation and freezing point depression. The presence of solute particles disrupts the organization of solvent molecules, making it more difficult for them to change phase.


What lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point?

Adding solutes, such as salt or sugar, to a solvent can lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point. This phenomenon is known as freezing point depression and boiling point elevation, respectively. The presence of solutes disrupts the normal crystal structure in the solvent, requiring lower temperatures to freeze and higher temperatures to boil.


The physical properties of a solution that differ from those of its solute and solvent include freezing point boiling point and what?

The physical properties of a solution that differ from those of its solute and solvent include boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, osmotic pressure, and vapor pressure changes.

What is the relationship between boiling point elevation and freezing point depression in a solution?

Boiling point elevation and freezing point depression are both colligative properties of a solution. Boiling point elevation occurs when the boiling point of a solvent increases when a solute is added, while freezing point depression happens when the freezing point of a solvent decreases with the addition of a solute. These phenomena are related because they both depend on the concentration of solute particles in the solution, with boiling point elevation and freezing point depression being proportional to the number of solute particles present.


What are examples of freezing point depression boiling point elevation and vapor point lowering?

The freezing is ag gago weak


How are freezing point depression and boiling point elevation useful?

the main applicative use of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation is to calculate the molecular mass of a non volatile solute in a pure solvent.


How does elevation in temperature affect the freezing point of water?

It doesn't.


How does the phenomenon of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation affect the properties of a solution?

Freezing point depression and boiling point elevation are both colligative properties that occur when solute particles are added to a solvent. Freezing point depression lowers the temperature at which a solution freezes, while boiling point elevation raises the temperature at which a solution boils. These changes in the freezing and boiling points affect the physical properties of the solution, making it different from the pure solvent.


What is the boiling and freezing point when it is 1.92 mole of naphthalene C10H8 in 16.8 mole of chloroform?

The boiling point elevation and freezing point depression of a solution are colligative properties that depend on the molality of the solute particles. Given the information provided, you would need the constants for the boiling point elevation and freezing point depression of the solvent (chloroform) to calculate the new boiling and freezing points.


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.

Does freezing temperature change at higher altitudes?

Elevation has minimal affects on the freezing point of water as it doesn't deal with gas molecules as boiling does. Elevation affects the boiling point of water because the air pressure changes with elevation.


Compared to the pure water an aqueous solution of calcium chloride has a?

Higher boiling point and a lower freezing point. These are called colligative properties. When a solute is put into solution with the solvent, there is a change in the vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, elevation of the boiling point, and depression of the freezing point.
