We mixed some ethylene glycol with 346 g water to reduce the equilibrium vapor pressure of water from 1.00 atm to 0.960 atm at 100°C. The molar masses of water and ethylene glycol are 18.02 g/mol and 62.07 g/mol, respectively. Assume ideal behavior for the solution. What is the freezing point of this solution? (Hint: find the molality first, and for water, kf = 1.86 m/°C; freezing point of water: 0.0°C.)
