Question

Calculate the freezing point of a 0.05500 m aqueous solution of NaNO3. The molal freezing- point-depression constant of water is 1.86°C/m. (assume 100% ionization of NaNO3)

my (incorrect ) answer was -.205...what did i do wrong? I assumed the m is molality not molarity. it seemed like a straight forward plug and chug.

T = i * kf * m

i = 2 

kf = 1.86 C/m

m = .05500
