AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the amount of ethylene glycol needed to prevent 4 kg of water from freezing at -6°C, we will use the formula for depression in freezing point. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Weight of solvent (water) = 4 kg - Freezing point of pure water = 0°C - Freezing point of the solution = -6°C - \( K_f \) for water = 1.85 K kg/mol - Molecular weight of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) = 62 g/mol ...
