Question

A chemist dissolves an unknown solute into 1000 grams of water and then measures the freezing point to be -2.88 C what can be determined from this data and from known constants for water?

Answer 1

the known constant of water is that it freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius. it can be determined that because of the solute added the water becomes a compound meaning it no longer has the constants of pure water hence the difference in freezing point

Answer 2

ANSWER ; The moles of solute particles in the solution
