2. Liquid-solid equilibrium
2.1 Lowering the solidification temperature: cryoscopy
Consider a liquid solution A -B in equilibrium with a solid A; A is the solvent and B the solute. It can always be seen that the solidification temperature T of the mixture AB is lower than the melting temperature (T
f
) of the pure body A. The difference due to the solute :
is called cryoscopic lowering.
