含义Meaning
溶液的凝固点低于纯溶剂。常用于测定摩尔质量、制防冻液和融雪剂。
A solution freezes below the pure solvent — used for molar-mass determination, antifreeze and road salt.
符号说明Symbols
| 符号Symbol | 含义 Meaning | 单位 Unit |
|---|---|---|
| \(K_f\) | 凝固点降低常数(水 1.86,苯 5.12,樟脑 ≈ 40)cryoscopic constant (water 1.86, benzene 5.12, camphor ≈ 40) | K·kg·mol⁻¹ |
| \(\Delta_\mathrm{fus}H_m\) | 溶剂的摩尔熔化焓molar enthalpy of fusion of solvent | J·mol⁻¹ |
推导Derivation
凝固时纯固体溶剂与溶液中的溶剂平衡:\(\mu_\mathrm{A}^*(s) = \mu_\mathrm{A}^*(l) + RT\ln x_\mathrm{A}\)。
At freezing, pure solid solvent equilibrates with solvent in solution: \(\mu_\mathrm{A}^*(s) = \mu_\mathrm{A}^*(l) + RT\ln x_\mathrm{A}\).
与沸点升高同样的推导,把 \(\Delta_\mathrm{vap}H\) 换成 \(\Delta_\mathrm{fus}H\),符号相反。
Same derivation as boiling-point elevation with \(\Delta_\mathrm{fus}H\) and opposite sign.
因 \(\Delta_\mathrm{fus}H < \Delta_\mathrm{vap}H\),同一溶剂 \(K_f > K_b\),凝固点法更灵敏。
Since \(\Delta_\mathrm{fus}H < \Delta_\mathrm{vap}H\), \(K_f > K_b\) — cryoscopy is more sensitive.
适用条件与局限Assumptions & limitations
假设析出的是纯溶剂固体(不形成固溶体)。
Assumes the solid that separates is pure solvent (no solid solution).
稀溶液近似;高浓度下(如防冻液 50% 乙二醇)只能定性。
Dilute-solution approximation; only qualitative for concentrated antifreeze.
例题Worked example
1.00 g 未知物溶于 50.0 g 苯,凝固点降低 0.640 K:M = 5.12×1.00/(0.640×0.0500) = 160 g/mol。
1.00 g in 50.0 g benzene lowers the f.p. by 0.640 K: M = 160 g/mol.
