Question

What happens when a solute is dissolved in water?

  1. Freezing point decreases
  2. Freezing point increases
  3. Both A and B
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Depression in freezing point. Salt is added to the roads in the colder region to reduce the formation of ice on the roads.

The correct answer is: Freezing point decreases


    • When a solute is added to the water freezing point of the solution is lower than the individual components.
    • It is a colligative property.
    • It depends on the concentration of the solute.
    • When salt is added to water its freezing point decreases.
