$A$ solvent freezes at $17^{\circ} C$ and it has a latent heat of fusion of $180 \ J \ g^{-1}$. The molal depression constant $(K_{f})$ of the solvent is (in $K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$):

Calculate the molal freezing point depression constant $(K_f)$ of a solvent which has a freezing point of $16.6 \, ^\circ C$ and a latent heat of fusion of $180.75 \, J/g$.

What is depression of freezing point? Explain.

Two solutions $A$ and $B$ are prepared by dissolving $1 \ g$ of non-volatile solutes $X$ and $Y$ respectively in $1 \ kg$ of water. The ratio of depression in freezing points for $A$ and $B$ is found to be $1: 4$. The ratio of molar masses of $X$ and $Y$ is.

The freezing point of a $0.01 \ M$ aqueous glucose solution at $1 \ \text{atmosphere}$ is $-0.18 \ ^oC$. To it,an addition of an equal volume of $0.002 \ M$ glucose solution will produce a solution with a freezing point of nearly ........... $^oC$.
