The freezing point of diet soda is higher than the freezing point of regular soda, but lower than 0oC, the freezing point of pure water. a, Explain why both diet and regular soda freeze at temperatures lower than 0o? b, Why does diet soda freeze at a higher temperature than regular soda?
1. The freezing point of diet soda is higher than the freezing point of regular soda, but lower than 0oC, the freezing point of pure water.
a, Explain why both diet and regular soda freeze at temperatures lower than 0o?
b, Why does diet soda freeze at a higher temperature than regular soda?
This can be explained by a colligative property named as Depression in Freezing point.
Soda(Diet and regular) is a Solution of sugar and some other components in water. Here water is a Solvent
Now As per the colligative property that is Depression in freezing point states that when a non volatile solute is dissolved in a Solvent then the freezing point of solution get lower as compare to the pure Solvent(water).
Here Soda is a Solution Of Sugar (a non volatile solute) and some other components in water
Due to addition of non volatile solute(Sugar), soda(Diet and regular) has lower freezing point than water that is lower than the zero degree Celsius
