Final answer:
To calculate the freezing point of the solution, we can use the equation relating freezing point depression to solute molality. The freezing point is obtained by subtracting the freezing point depression from the normal freezing point of the solvent.
Step-by-step explanation:
The freezing point depression is given by Equation 11.5.6:
ΔTf = Kf * m * i
Where ΔTf is the freezing point depression, Kf is the freezing point depression constant, m is the molality of the solution, and i is the van't Hoff factor.
Since the freezing point depression constant (Kf) is given, we can substitute the values:
ΔTf = 2.40 °C/m * 0.600 m * 1 = 1.44 °C
Finally, to calculate the freezing point of the solution, we subtract the freezing point depression from the normal freezing point:
Freezing point = 0.0 °C - 1.44 °C = -1.44 °C
