Question

Write the SI unit of cryoscopic constant.

Hint:

The cryoscopic constant has units of \( \text{K} \cdot \text{kg/mol} \), which relates to the freezing point depression in a solution.

Answer 1

The cryoscopic constant, also known as the freezing point depression constant, is used to calculate the depression in freezing point when a solute is added to a solvent. The SI unit of the cryoscopic constant is: \[ \text{K} \cdot \text{kg/mol} \] This unit corresponds to the change in freezing point per unit molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).
