Freezing Point Drop Method

The Freezing Point Drop Method is an analytical technique used to determine the freezing point of a liquid or a solution. It relies on the principle that adding a solute to a solvent lowers its freezing point. By monitoring the temperature at which the first ice crystals begin to form in the solution, the freezing point can be accurately determined. This method is commonly applied in various industries, such as chemistry and petrochemicals, to assess the purity of substances or to check for the presence of impurities. It's especially useful in quality control and research, as deviations from the expected freezing point can indicate the composition and quality of a sample.
