Enrichment

1. Since salt is a non-volatile solute, adding it to a solvent lowers the freezing point of the solution
relative to the solvent alone. These indicate that ice's freezing point will drop, causing melting.
It, as stated in the question, aids in preventing the accumulation of ice on the road that could be
dangerous during colder seasons.
2. Before takeoff in cold weather, planes are de-iced to prevent the buildup of ice on their wings
and tails, which could impair the aircraft's performance once the passengers are aboard. De-
icing is done for safer travel, plain and simple.

REFLECTION

This module demonstrates how significant a solute's contribution is. Although I already understood
that a solute was a tiny component that was dissolved in a solvent, it actually plays a very important
role. The colloidal characteristics of a solution can change depending on the quantity of nonvolatile
solutes, or solutes without observable vapor pressure. When a nonvolatile solute is added to a solvent,
the boiling point can be raised because the amount of vapor produced reduces pressure. To be more
precise, a liquid begins to boil when its vapor pressure equals that of the surrounding air, hence the
addition of a nonvolatile solute will result in a lower vapor pressure and a higher boiling point. The
relationship between molality and solution boiling point elevation is direct.

The freezing point depression, which refers to the temperature at which solid and liquid forms can
coexist without changing, is another. The freezing point of a solution will drop when a non-volatile
solute is introduced. The solute-solvent interactions, which prevent the solvent from entering the solid
phase where a lower temperature is needed to solidify the solution, are to blame for this alteration. It's
crucial to remember that a solution's molal concentration immediately correlates with its freezing point.
Finding out if a solute is an electrolyte—a substance that can conduct electricity when placed in water
and has a tendency to generate ions—or non-electrolyte—which is the reverse of the former—is
another crucial component of the course. More moles of dissolved solutes are present in the
electrolyte. This causes a non-electrolyte with a lower amount of dissolved moles to have a lower
freezing point and a higher boiling point.
