The experimentally measured freezing point of a 1.30 m aqueous solution of CaCl2 is -5.80°C. The freezing point depression constant for water is Kf = 1.86°C/m. Assume the freezing point of pure water is 0.00°C.
a) What is the value of the van't Hoff factor for this solution?
b) What is the predicted freezing point if there were no ion clustering in the solution?
