freezing point

Recommended Posts

i have been wondering why a solution does not have a constant freezing point. Anyone have any ideas? Not really sure ... my prof asked the class and asked us to find out... cant find any help so i wondered if anyone wants to give me some help.

 

P.S. it is not homework for those who think i only am here for homework!

As the temperature decreases, so does the solubility of the components of the solution. (Typically speaking). As you cool that solution, the concentration of it changes. As this concentration changes, so does the freezing point of the solution, hence the issue you have experienced.
