Explain the measured freezing point depression

Reference no: EM13553879

In this experiment you are adding naphthalene to cyclohexane and using the freezing point depression to determine its molecular weight. What would happen to the measured freezing point depression if you add an equal mass of Acenaphthene (Molecular formula C12H10) instead? Assume the acenaphthene is completely soluble in cyclohexane and has the same van't Hoff factor as naphthalene.

Provide a brief explanation for your answer.

a. There will be no change

b. The freezing point depression will be smaller

c. The freezing point depression will be greater
