| | Using Freezing-Point Depression |
 | | This property, known as freezing-point depression, is a colligative property; that is, it depends on the ratio of solute and solvent particles, not on the nature of the substance itself. |
 | | By measuring the freezing point depression, T, and the mass of benzoic acid, you can use the formula above to find the molecular weight of the benzoic acid solute, in g/mol. |
 | | To determine the freezing point of the benzoic acid-lauric acid solution, you need to determine the temperature at which the mixture initially started to freeze. |
