If a 1-molal solution of NaCl in water shows a freezing-point depression of 2.5˚C, what is the freezing-point depression, in degrees Celsius, observed for a 1-molal solution of CaCl in water? (Recall that both NaCl and CaCl are completely dissociated in aqueous solution.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given, 

Molality of NaCl solution = 1 m 

Freezing-point depression of NaCl  = ΔTf = 2.5 ˚C 

Molality of CaCl2 solution = 1 m 

Freezing-point depression of CaCl2 = ΔTf = ?
