Freezing Point Depression
The lowering of the freezing point of a solvent when a solute is dissolved in it.
FP solvent - FP solution = ΔTF
The formula used to calculate the change in freezing point of a solution.
Kf
The freezing point depression constant, specific to each solvent.
Boiling Point Elevation
The increase in the boiling point of a solvent when a solute is dissolved in it.
BP solution - BP solvent = ΔTB
The formula used to calculate the change in boiling point of a solution.
Ko
