The magnitude of is

1. Nature of solute only
2. Nature of the solute and the concentration of solution
3. Nature of the solvent and the concentration of solution
4. Nature of solvent only

Solution: 3. Nature of the solvent and the concentration of solution

The freezing point shift ΔTf (also known as the freezing point depression, Td) is calculated as follows:

ΔT= (Tf of pure solvent) – (Tof solution)

This shows that the magnitude of ΔT depends upon the nature of the solvent and the concentration of the solution

ΔTf is also equal to Kf * (molality of solution), where Kf is the freezing point depression.
