This experiment studied freezing point depression by measuring the melting points of water-glycerol solutions with varying glycerol concentrations. Higher glycerol concentrations resulted in lower melting points as glycerol molecules interrupted the formation of ice crystals. The results supported the theory that adding a solute lowers the freezing point of a solution.
