Freezing Point Depression Equation in Calculus Notation?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the freezing point depression equation expressed in calculus notation, specifically ΔT = i * m * k, where ΔT represents the change in temperature, i is the van't Hoff factor, m denotes the molality of the solution, and k is the molal freezing point constant for the solvent. The correct LaTeX representation of this equation is \Delta T = i~m~k, which is crucial for accurately formatting mathematical expressions in academic writing. The participants confirm the notation and seek clarity on its presentation.

Homework Statement



How do I write it in calculus notation?
Delta T = i k m

were
Delta T = Change of temperature
i = van't Hoff value
m = concentration in molality
k = molal freezing/boiling point constant for the solvent

THANKS!
