JEE MainChemistryModeratePhysical Chemistry

In the depression of freezing point experiment, it is found that:
I. The vapour pressure of the solution is less than that of pure

solvent.

II. The vapour pressure of the solution is more than that of pure

solvent.

III. Only solute molecules solidify at the freezing point.

IV. Only solvent molecules solidify at the freezing point.

Show answer and solution
The freezing point of a solvent depresses as a non-volatile
solute is added to a solvent. According to Raoult's law, when a

non-volatile solute is added to a solvent the vapour pressure of the

solvent decreases. At freezing point it will be only the solvent

molecules which will solidify.
