Part 1:
Using the molal freezing point depression constant for water (1.86 C/m), we can calculate the freezing point depression for a 3.6 molal solution of glucose in water:
ΔTf = i * Kf * m
ΔTf = 1 * 1.86 * 3.6 = 6.696
Freezing point = 0.0 C - 6.696 C = -6.7 C

Part 2:
Using the molal freezing point depression constant for water (1.86 C/m), we can calculate the freezing point depression for a 1.7 molal solution of sodium nitrate in water:
ΔTf = i * Kf * m
ΔTf = 2 * 1.86 * 1.7 = 6.372
Freezing point = 0.0 C - 6.372 = -6.4 C
