Question

Will adding a solute to a solvent raise the freezing point of the solvent?

Answer 1

yes adding a solute. ............

Answer 2

• no
• Explanation:
• Freezing point depression  is a so-called  colligative property , and the depression of the freezing point (i.e.  fusion point ) of the SOLVENT is proportional to the numbers of species of solute in that solution.
• Sometimes this freezing point depression can give an estimate for the molecular mass of the solute in SOLUTION, and it can do this by very simple means with a solvent like cyclohexane, and a good Beckmann thermometer.
